'I Must Be Somebody Else'
Written by Merle Haggard
Published by BMI

Well I've always been the kinda guy that didn't love a lot
I took all the love they offered me with ease
And it didn't make much difference if they loved me or not
Cause I'd love 'em for a while and then I'd leave

And I can't believe it's really me hurtin' like I do
Just because you've left me all alone
Well I've seen it happen many times to other guys you knew
Surely I must be somebody else you've known

Well when I first met you darling you impressed me more than some
Well I should have took the warning way back then
But I never stopped to think that even my day had to come
And like the other guys that I want you back again

And I can't believe it's really me hurtin' like I do...
Surely I must be somebody else you've known
