Lyrics:
I'm not the same old me without you.
I'd never dream a dream without you.
But when they speak your name,
I keep smiling just the same.
Playing my part, hiding my heart.
I'm not the same old me. It's true, dear.
I never could pretend with you, dear.
And they don't know I've lied just to satisfy my pride.
You can see I'm not the same old me.
I ain't the same old me, honey,
since I've been without you.
When I go to bed at night I never dream a dream
unless it is about you.
But whenever folks call your name,
I just keep on smiling just the same.
I'm playin' my part,
and hiding what's deep down in my heart.
I'm not the same old me. It's true, dear.
I never could pretend with you, dear.
And they don't know I've lied just to satisfy my pride.
You can see I'm not the same old me.
