The Other Me Lyrics by Joe Jackson

The Other Me Lyrics

    I guess we can still be friends
    I guess we can talk at least
    But if we were seventeen
    Imagine the things we'd do
    I know that those days are over
    I'm glad that those games are won
    And the winners ride off into the sunset
    But it's not the same for you

    And i don't want to play
    Those nasty games that adults play
    But i can't let you go
    And i can't see another way

    And i know that she's the only one for me
    But you know that if i could split in two
    The other me - would stay all night
    The other me - would hold you tight
    The other me - would be the only one for you

    When i see you there alone
    It almost breaks my heart
    But it doesn't break enough
    For me to break my whole life apart
    I guess we could still be friends
    And we can talk all night
    But i have to bite my tongue
    And sometimes words don't come out right

    We're old enough to know
    What we can think or say out loud
    To know that hearts are not just
    Cards to play when two's a crowd

    And i know that she's the only one for me
    But you know that if i could split in two
    The other me - would stay all night
    The other me - would hold you tight
    The other me - would be the only one for you

    The other me . . .
    Would take you so far away from here
    And he'd be . . .
    A man with a mission . . .
    The other me . . .
    Might even be better than this one

    And i know that she's the only one for me
    But you know that if i could split in two
    The other me - would stay all night
    The other me - would hold you tight
    The other me - would be the only one for you
