Lyrics

I am standing on a corner On a sad and rainy day Waiting for a local streetcar To convey myself away I have always disappointed Those who thought too much of me It is not my job to please them They'd do best to let me be I've been up all night three nights in a row Trying to make up my mind which way should I go The more I ponder, the less I seem to know Does anyone know better? I don't really think so Just a bunch of actors acting On a bare and simple stage Portraying all the passions Both of sympathy and rage I'll tell you this for nothing That's not how I want to be Rather hit the sidewalk running Do your own time, let mine be I've been up all night, the hours come and go From midnight to first light feeling high then low The more I ponder, the less I seem to know Does anyone know better? I don't really think so Stared a hole right through the window Down the block and 'cross the street Left forever a short while ago Between triumph and defeat Beyond hopefulness and keen despair Between victory and defeat All I want's a breath of good fresh air And two ways on a one-way street Just let me be, just let me be Been up all night as you can see Just let me be, just let me be Don't you lean all over me I'll do the same for you, just let me be
