I Am I Said by Neil Diamond Verse: First four lines are spoken, next two sung: LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time And the feeling is laid back Palm trees grow and rents are low but-I-gotta-feeling-like-I-gotta-start Making my way back I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores. LA's fine but it ain't home and New York's home but it ain't mine no more. Chorus: I am I said To noone there -- And noone heard at all, not even the chair I am I cried I am said I -- And I am lost and I don't even know why (tacit) Leaving me lonely still Verse 2: Did-you-ever-hear-about-the-frog-who-dreamed-about-being--king And suddenly became one? Well, except for the names and a few other changes My story's the same one But I have an emptiness deep inside so strong it won't let me go And I'm not a man who likes to swear but I've never cared for the sound of being alone. Chorus Chorus. Tom Jones
