She said, "I can't be happy if I can't be free"
And she said, "I know you need somebody but it can't be me"
"And I can't love you but I hope you'll see: that it's not you it's me"
She said, "It's not you, it's me" but I'm inclined to disagree
She may try and try but there is just one lie I never believe:
It's not you, it's me
('Cause it's me)
Familiar words and yet they still sound weird
She must think less of me than I had ever feared
And she can't think of me as all that bright
Although she means to be polite when she says
It's not you it's me ...
'Cause it's me, all me
