I am I said     Neil Diamond


L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time...And the feeling is 'laid back'
Palm trees grow, and rents are low...But you know I keep thinkin' about...Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised..But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home...New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

"I am," I said..To no one there...An' no one heard at all..Not even the chair
"I am," I cried..."I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why...............Leavin' me lonely (up)still

Did y'ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king...And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
I f you talk about me, the story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

"I am," I said...To no one there...An' no one heard at all Not even the chair
"I am," I cried.."I am," said I...And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely (up)still

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time....oh no
Did y'ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king....oh no
Well except for the names and a few other changes If you talk about me...Oh no
Oh no...No No ........No No.
