I used to think it might be fun to be Anyone else but me. I thought that it would be a pleasant surprise To wake up as a couple of other guys. But now that I've found you, I've changed my point of view, And now I wouldn't give a dime to be Anyone else but me. What a day, Fortune smiled and came my way, Bringing love I never thought I'd see, I'm so lucky to be me. What a night, Suddenly you came in sight, Looking just the way I'd hoped you'd be, I'm so lucky to be me. I am simply thunderstruck At the change in my luck: Knew at once I wanted you, Never dreamed you'd want me, too. I'm so proud You chose me from all the crowd, There's no other guy I'd rather be, I could laugh out loud, I'm so lucky to be me.

I'm so proud You chose me from all the crowd, There's no other guy I'd rather be, GABEY AND I could laugh out loud, I'm so lucky to be me.
