I Wish I Wasn't Me Tonight lyrics - Del Shannon

I wish that I was another guy,
Tonight my baby's gonna say goodbye,
She doesn't know I already know,
A friend of mine just called and told me so,

Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,
Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,

I wish that I could find a way,
To turn tonight back into day,
I'm not a split personality,
But if I were, I'd send the other me

Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,
Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,

Here she comes and her arms are reaching out to me,
But nothing's changed,
She's gotten like she used to be,

Well now I think I'm beginning to understand,

The boy is jealous, it's plain to see
He's trying to take my baby from me,
If he could see her in these arms of mine,
Then he would know he's wasting his time,

Oh,
I'm so glad I'm me tonight,
Yeah,
So Glad I'm me tonight,
Yeah,
I'm so glad I'm me tonight.
