I am I said
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the timeAnd the feeling is 'lay back'Palm trees grow, and rents are lowBut you know I keep thinkin' aboutMaking my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raisedBut nowadays, I'm lost between two shoresL.A.'s fine, but it ain't homeNew York's home, but it ain't mine no more
"I am," I saidTo no one thereAn no one heard at allNot even the chair"I am," I cried"I am," said IAnd I am lost, and I can't even say whyLeavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a kingAnd then became oneWell except for the names and a few other changesI you talk about me, the story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep insideAnd I've tried, but it won't let me goAnd I'm not a man who likes to swearBut I never cared for the sound of being alone
"I am," I saidTo no one thereAn no one heard at allNot even the chair"I am," I cried"I am," said IAnd I am lost, and I can't even say whyLeavin' me lonely still
