The Other Me

by Paul McCartney

I Know I Was A Crazy Fool

For Treating You The Way I Did

But Something Took Hold Of Me

And I Acted Like A Dustbin Lid

I Didn't Give Second Though

To What The Consequence Might Be

I Really Wouldn't Be Surprised

If You Were Trying To Find Another Me

The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

I Know It Doesn't Take A Lot

To Have A Little Self-Control

But Every Time That I Forgot

Well I Landed In Another Hole

But Everytime You Pull Me Out

I Find It Harder Not To See

That We Can Build A Better Life

If I Can Try To Find The Other Me

The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule

But If I Ever Hurt You

Well You Know That It's Not Real

It's No Easy Living By Yourself

So Imagine How I Feel

I Wish That I Could Take It Back

I'd Like To Make A Different Mood

And If You Let Me Try Again

I'll Have A Better Attitude

Well I Know That One And One Make Two

And That's What I Want Us To Be

I Really Would Appreciate It

If You'd Help Me Find The Other Me

The Other Me Would Rather Be The Glad One

The Other Me Would Rather Play The Fool

I Want To Be The Kind Of Me

That Doesn't Let You Down As A Rule
