"Someone Like Me" lyrics

"Someone Like Me"

Hey hey, where you been and why so long?
What you say? Singin' on the same old song?
[?] in a shuffle with your head hung down
Hummin' to the hard, cold ground
Lookin' for a softer place to be
Love don't figure, just someone like me
My, my, what a way to say, "So long"
"Bye bye," no one here to say, "What's wrong?"

No more climbin' stairs with my heart in hand
No more little dreams of sand
I know I ain't such a shinin' prize
I ain't tryin' [?]

I know someone's got to feel the same
So low, how am I supposed to find that name?
How are they supposed to know I've been waitin' here?
They're just like me, they don't see clear

Only surefire losers need apply
Not too quick, not too slow to try
Come on, I can't be chasin' after you
Come on, I can't be guessin' what to do
Still here? Can't you try and find a way?
Still here? Day after day after day
