I’m The Only Me

I’m The Only Me

I’m the only me there will ever be.
You’re the only you I can sing this to.
In all of human history
You’re the only you, I’m the only me.

People say we are kin
To everyone who’s ever been.
Alike a lot, at least somewhat.
But really not much.

I’m the only me there will ever be.
You’re the only you I can sing this to.
In all of human history
You’re the only you, I’m the only me.

You know me. I know you.
There is no one I’m closer to.
But how we link, how we think, is so distinctive.

So you be you. I’ll be me.
’Cause that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
And who cares if we’re all so diff?
It’s still terrific.

I’m the only me there will ever be.
You’re the only you I can sing this to.
In all of human history
You’re the only you, I’m the only me.
You’re the only you, I’m the only me.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Some Assembly Required CD.
