"I Just Wanted To Be Me" lyrics - JOHNNY MATHIS

As a boy I dreamt of all the things that were to be
A man of the world with power in his hands
A man who was king they weren't for me, they weren't for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me

Many moons now have passed by the man I've grown to be
A man of the world with power in his hands
They said I was king, they couldn't see, it's not for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me

They said I was king, they couldn't see, it's not for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me
I just wanted to be me
