I Am...I Said - Neil Diamond

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most of the time And the feeling is laid back (feeling is laid back oh) Palm trees grow and rents are low Don't you know I keep working my way back But I'm Jamaican boy born and raised Nowadays, I'm lost between two shores L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home New York is home, But it ain't mine no more I am... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair I am... I cried I am... said I And I am lost and I can't Even say why Leavin' me lonely still Did you read about a frog Who dreamed of bein' a king And they all became one Except for the names And a few other changes You talk about me The story is the same one But I've got this emptiness deep inside And it won't let me go And I'm a man who don't like to swear But I hate the sound of being alone I am... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair I am... I cried I am ... said I And I am lost and I can't Even say why I am... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair I am... I cried I am ... said I And I am lost and I can't Even say why Believe in loneliness

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time The feeling is laid back Palm trees grow and rent's so low And don't you know, I keep thinking about it Making my way back Well, I'm New York City born and raised And nowadays, I'm lost between two shores L.A.'s fine but it ain't home New York's home but it ain't mine no more "I am"... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even a chair "I am"... I cried "I am"... said I And I am lost and I can't even say why Leaving me lonely still Did you ever read about a frog Who dreamed of being a king? And then became one Well, except for the names and a few other changes If you talk about me The story is the same one But I've got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried But 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 "I am"... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even a chair "I am"... I cried "I am"... said I And I am lost and I can't even say why Leaving me lonely, still Leaving me lonely, still (Lonely) (Lonely) L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
