Text: Barry Louis Polisar. Other. I'd Be Me.

I wouldn't wanna be a movie star and get mobbed wherever I go
I don't need to be on TV or hear my songs on the radio
People always tell me one day I'll be a star
But every star burns out one day even if they're popular

Ah happiness, I've found the key
If I could be somebody....I'd be me

I don't ned no limousine; I don't need no private plane
I'm happy being who I am, I would wanna be John Wayne
Though I loved his role in "Stagecoach"; loved what he did and said
It all sounds better coming from him--beside's he's dead

I wouldn't be David Slavitt, though I really love his poems
I wouldn't be Dr Shockley, I don't got the right chromosomes
So if you wanna be happy--it's easy as ABC
The best advice I can give you is: be me
