I Just Wanted to Be Me Lyrics


As a boy I dreamt of all the things that were to be
A man of the world with power in his hands
A man who was king they weren't for me, they weren't for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be meMany moons now have passed by the man I've grown to be
A man of the world with power in his hands
They said I was king, they couldn't see, it's not for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me
They said I was king, they couldn't see, it's not for me
Of all the things to be, simple things they favored me and
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me
I just wanted to be me, I just wanted to be me
I just wanted to be me

The fourth of seven children, John Royce Mathis was born on September 30, 1935 in Gilmer, TX to Clem and Mildred Mathis. As a small boy, the family moved to Post Street in San Francisco. It was there that he learned an appreciation of music from his father who taught him his first song, “My Blue Heaven”. At age eight, his father purchased an old upright piano for $25. When he brought it home, it wouldn’t fit through the front door.
