The Other Me — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

I guess we can still be friends

I guess we can talk at least

But if we were seventeen

Imagine the things wed do

I know that those days are over

Im glad that those games are won

And the winners ride off into the sunset

But its not the same for you



And I dont want to play

Those nasty games that adults play

But I cant let you go

And I cant see another way



And I know that shes the only one for me

But you know that if I could split in two

The other me - would stay all night

The other me - would hold you tight

The other me - would be the only one for you



When I see you there alone

It almost breaks my heart

But it doesnt break enough

For me to break my whole life apart

I guess we could still be friends

And we can talk all night

But I have to bite my tongue

And sometimes words dont come out right



Were old enough to know

What we can think or say out loud

To know that hearts are not just

Cards to play when twos a crowd



And I know that shes the only one for me

But you know that if I could split in two

The other me - would stay all night

The other me - would hold you tight

The other me - would be the only one for you



The other me . . .

Would take you so far away from here

And hed be . . .

A man with a mission . . .

The other me . . .

Might even be better than this one



And I know that shes the only one for me

But you know that if I could split in two

The other me - would stay all night

The other me - would hold you tight

The other me - would be the only one for you
