I Never Wrote Those Songs

My tape recorder, It must be lyin' 'Cause this I just can't believe. I hear a voice that's cryin', That's not me. The wheel goes round. I hear a sound. It's comin' out all wrong. And I swear to you I never wrote that song. I been livin' in my own shell so long: The only place I ever feel at home. And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics. It stayed inside me so long. And I swear to you I never wrote that song. But pardon me, I'm not lookin' for sympathy, Not sympathy. I'm just thinking out loud. The melody, It goes nowhere pointlessly. Silence please. I been livin' in my own shell so long: The only place I ever feel at home. And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics. It stayed inside me so long. And I swear to you I never.
