It Couldn't Be Me Lyrics

We�re driving through the canyons
Singing songs from the sixties
The telephone rang, she said,
�Babe, do you miss me?�
And ain�t it a shame not to love the one you�re with
Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth
And she scorned me
She sharpened her teeth and flashed them to warn me
That ain�t it a shame when you hate the one you loved

Well, it couldn�t be me
No, it couldn�t be me
No, they�re not in your dreams
He don�t look a thing like me

Well I dated a rich girl
With a mother of pearl
Who paid rent in her high rise
The weight of the world
And ain�t it a shame when you�re exchangin� all your brand new gifts
Well after a night on the floor,
she put the chain on her door
I�d worn out my welcome
I guess she got bored
She laid her on my brother
And laid him across my bed

No, it couldn�t be me
No, it couldn�t be me
No, they�re not in your dreams
He don�t look a thing like me

Well it sounds like rain
And here that�s a rare thing
Out here in the desert,
I�m stealing my water
From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes
And from the faucet it drips
And I�ll clean up the messes
The others have left us
Well I think they�ve blessed us
There�s a chain on my door
But I�m in love with the one I�m with
And it couldn�t be me
No, it couldn�t be me
No, they�re not in your dreams
He don�t look a thing like me
Well it couldn�t be me
No, it couldn�t be me
No, they�re not in your dreams
He don�t look a thing like me
