My Other Me
Intro
One, two, you know what to do!
Verse 1
I had good intentions when I left the house today
Then my other me showed up and had a thing or two to say
He told me "stay out late tonight, the boys are at the bar"
And I left her there waitin', stranded without a car
He's the one who promised that he'd paint the bedroom blue
Then found a hundred reasons why it's something he won't do
I swear I had a plan, girl, I was gonna get it done
Then my other me convinced me that tomorrow's just as fun
Chorus
My other me, my oh my
He's got a wink and a way that gets by
He’s cost me more than I’d like to see
Lord have mercy on my other me
Verse 2
She's always ten, fifteen minutes runnin' behind
And I let that restless part of me start losin’ his mind
He's got a temper quicker than a cat on a hot tin roof
And about as smooth as sandpaper on a Sunday, that's the truth
Chorus
My other me, my oh my
He's got a wink and a way that gets by
He’s cost me more than I’d like to see
Lord have mercy on my other me
Bridge
But she looked at me the way she does
Said "I married both of you, because
The man who falls and stands again
Is stronger than those perfect men
And I see the good you’re fightin’ for
Even when you lose that war
I love the one you’re tryin’ to be
Not just who you are today.”
Final Chorus
My other me, my oh my
He's got a wink and a way that gets by
He’s cost me more than I’d like to see
Lord have mercy on my other me
Lord have mercy on my other me
Lord bless my baby, and my other me!
Outro
My other me… my oh my…
Yeah, that’s me…
But I ain’t who I’ll always be
