Then there was the time
You said I was the guy
Who stood up to the bully
Who punched you in the nose
But that didn’t happen, at least I don’t recall
I think you think I’m someone else, I suppose
You have your version of the past
One where I have been miscast
This is not me, no, no
I am some other guy
This is not me, yeah, yeah
Let me demystify
I am not who you think I am
Then there was the time
You said I was the guy
Who stood up to the teacher
Who made you look a fool
But that didn’t happen
I would never have done that
I was too much of a coward at school
It’s nice to be held in high regard
But I was never no one’s bodyguard
Go ahead and think what you will
You can think I did a mess of things
You can think that I was brave
You can think I was the king of kings
But I’m not the guy you think I am
Then there was the time
You said I was the guy
Who sold a million records and became rock star
But that didn’t happen, at least I don’t recall
That fact that you think it seems to me a bit bizarre
I must have made a deep impression
Maybe my memory needs refreshin’
