More Like Me

I want to be more like me
I want to be what I'm supposed to be
I want to do all the things I'm supposed to do

I want to know what's really real
Get a feel for the deal
And then I kinda got a feelin'
I won't have no feelin's for you

You meant everything to me
But now your memory won't set me free
And so I need to make peace with my feelin's for you

Cause they say that when you're dead you're done
That's a race, that's done been run
I want to have some fun
Before my time is through

Ain't studied on the Buddhists
It's on my "to do" list
I'll get around to it somehow
That chanting sounds like humming
They must be onto something
The main thing they got to say is
"Baby, be here now"

And so it seems to me
That the future's never plain to see
You got to fake it 'til you make it
And you can't change the past, no-how
I'm goin' ahead and get on the right track
'Cause it's a natural fact
There's no time like the present
Talkin' 'bout right now

Everything was groovy
Like something in a movie
Don't you know we had it goin' on
Then you up and left me
Yeah, that upset me
But now I know it's always darkest
Right before the dawn

And so it seems to me
That the past is history
The future is a mystery
And the time is now
To go ahead and get on the right track
Let me tell you Jack
You got to fake it 'til you make it
And it don't hurt to shake it, no-how

That's right

If you shake it, don't break it
When you make it, you can take a bow

I want to be more like me
And I'm startin' right now
Wow
