The Late Pretenders - This Ain't Me... Lyrics

I've been stuck in the gutter
For I don't know how long
I've been waiting for something
To come sweep me along
And though every time I think
That I've found something new
There ain't nothing new to it
Cause they're all just like you

This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really
This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really

You've gotta run the wolves
Or just know that you could
Are you a flash in the pan
I sure know that I am
And you're dirty cheap smile
Steals all that I own
I know this ain't what I want
But I ain't got no hope

This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really
This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really

There's no dark alley other
Just a kick in the teeth
But a candle lit lover
Is all that I need
Cause there's only one ending
And it ain't nothing new
Though it's just as mind bending
Cause they're all just like you

This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really
This ain't me
But I've never known who that was really
