i'm not the guy by Dan Bern


you can categorize me
lump me with the others
if that's the way you wanna play
you can say that the way it's been
is exactly the way that it's gotta be
and i'll make you feel right
if you gotta feel right
well if you're willing to live truthfully
i think you'll see
that babe i'm not the guy who
hurt you many years ago

i'm not the guy
i'm not the guy
i'm not the guy

babe what are you seeing?
when you look in my eyes
maybe someone from a magazine
is that someone who hurt you?
you don't gotta explain it
i used to read that magazine myself
but last night in the kitchen, yeah
i cancelled my subscription, yeah
and maybe you'll believe me babe
that you don't need to carry yours
around anymore

'cause i'm not the guy
i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy

i'm not the guy who made you crawl into the shell
i'm not the guy who threw your heart against the wall
i'm not the guy who made you feel like all you did was lost
i'm not the guy who loved you babe, and kept his fingers crossed

i'm not the guy
i'm not the guy
i'm not the guy

i'm not the guy who tried to hide his wedding ring
i'm not the guy who disappeared after the spring
i'm not the guy who took care of you for a weekend stay
i'm not the guy who loved you babe, and took his love away

i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy 
i'm not the guy
