I Am...I Said lyrics

L.a.'s fine, the sun
shines most the time
and the feelin' is lay back

Palm trees grow
and rents are low
but you know
I keep thinkin' 'bout
makin' 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
and 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 still

Did you 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
if 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 bein' alone

I am, I said
to no-one there
and 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

I am, I said
I am, I cried
I am
