It's Gonna Be Me

David Bowie

4

Hey Jack I better shake it off. put her out of my head

Thinking I balled just another young girl last night

Oh brother! I left a woman in that morning bed

Been on that trip so many times

Good god! was it really yesterday?

I've tried so many, many, many, many, many, many ways

I've lied and taken off into the day

Leaving another girl to weep over the breakfast tray

Loved her before I knew her name, hit me Jack, 'cause I'm

Gonna love her way

CHORUS

(Come back, my babe)

Come back, my babe

Be holy again, I gave her

(I gave her) Ooh, maybe, maybe

(Ooh maybe) Gotta give her, ooh baby, baby (Ooh baby)

That kind of love

Can only destroy, I gave her

(I gave her) Ooh maybe, maybe

(Ooh maybe) Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cause

(Ooh baby)

Gonna be me

(It's gonna be me)

There was no rein to check me

When all of those little things walked on by

Oh! But I couldn't really stammer out a word

When that angel stuck in my mind

Oooooh, looking for love won't hold me back

(No!) I'm gonna love her way

CHORUS

Just playing that latest record

Waiting for the telephone to ring

Wiped out and bitter with a bag clutched in her hand

All the cars sound like they're pulling in the drive

Hmmm, no, no, no

I see her now

A little tear running down her cheek

Lost, let down

People looking for me

I want to race down her street

And knock hard, hard, hard on the door until

Until she breaks down into my arms like a

Treasured toy and I feel her pain

I'll be so strong, again and again

Come back my baby

I'll hold you again, I'll take you

(I'll take you) Ooh, baby, baby, baby

(Ooh baby) We're gonna have, ooh baby, baby (Ooh baby)

My kind of love

Can only bring you joy, I'm gonna

(I'm gonna) Yeah, baby

(Ooh baby) Yeah, I'll give you baby, baby (Ooh baby)

'Cause it's gonna be me (It's gonna be me)

Hmmmm
