Joni Mitchell - Just Like Me Lyrics
Hes so independentHe acts like he couldnt care less for us allHes someones descendentTheir childBut hell never acknowledge their callHes afraid to be lovedAnd I know hes afraid not to beAnd hell laugh and hell cryAnd someday hell dieJust like meJust like meHes settling a scoreWith a worldThat wants a reasonEvery time you turn aroundJust like meHes looking for a doorStanding open, saying welcomeCome and lay your troubles downJust like meHell drop his pretensesYoull see through the stone to the heart of the manBut the moment he senses youve seen himHell leave you as fast as he canHell return to his shadowsWhere no one can look in and seeAnd hell wake in the nightAnd hell cry like a childJust like meJust like meHes settling a scoreWith a world that wants a reasonEvery time you turn aroundJust like meHes looking for a doorStanding open, saying welcomeCome and lay your troubles downJust like meIve seen him look hungry for someoneTo tell him youre doing just fineThe songs that hes sung meHave loneliness woven between every lineWith no strings to hold himI guess he could call himself freeYes, hes free to be empty and lonely and wrongJust like meJust like meHes settling a scoreWith a world that wants a reasonEvery time you turn aroundJust like meHes looking for a doorStanding open, saying welcomeCome and lay your troubles downJust like me
