"Mistaken Identity" lyrics - VAN MORRISON

You thought you knew me
But you were wrong
There's more to me than my song
I don't blame you
You're not the first
There's more than one way to call your bluff

Mistaken identity
Man I get that a lot
You think that you can read me but
But you just cannot

'Cause I don't live my life
Only singing in one key
There's always sharps and flats
Sometimes concert C

Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity

Look inside myself
And only at the crowd
What the philosopher said
Got to say it out loud

The unexamined life is not worth living
Didn't look behind my smile
I can be forgiven
Once in a while

'Cause I don't live my life
Singing in just one key
All the sharps and flats
Sometimes concert c

Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity

You thought you knew me
But you were wrong
There's more to me than just my song
I don't blame you
You're not the first
There's more than one way to call your bluff

Mistaken identity
Man I get that a lot
You think that you can read me but
I know you cannot

'Cause I don't live my life
Singing in just one key
All the sharps and the flats
Sometimes concert c

Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
