[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And, Mama, don't cry no more, I'm comin' home

[Chorus]
I'm not like you, could I be?
A lot of things that I do, I would not suggest that anybody do too
I'll carry your weight, so I don't gotta carry my own
Can you give me your problems, please?
I'll take 'em with me and leave mine at home

[Verse 1]
Have you met somebody crazy as me? I'll wait, you'll see
Swear to God the studio should pay me to leave
Goddamn, I tried, I tried
Told the truth and I lied
Lord knows that I've been foolish
But you mistakin' me for human one too many times, yeah
You gettin' no more emotion from me
Gimme anybody who still believes that their dreams can come true
I guess I'll take your ignorance too, and I'll teach, and we'll see
The rest you can keep, I don't need it, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm not like you, could I be?
A lot of things that I do, I would not suggest that anybody do too
I'll carry your weight, so I don't gotta carry my own
So can you give me your problems, please?
So I can leave mine at home
[Verse 2]
I'll be the first one to admit, sex been kind to me
But I'd give it all back for just a crack at a goodnight sleep
You set the table for me, sorry, I can't eat
It's easy to lie, you think I got places to be
Shit, I spend so much time tryin' to relax my mind
You spend every day on your feet, why can't you see that

[Chorus]
I'm not like you, could I be? (Said)
A lot of things that I do, I would not suggest that anybody do too
And I'll carry your weight, so I don't gotta carry my own
Can you give me your problems, please?
I'll take 'em with me and leave mine at home

[Outro]
Yeah
Could I be?
Said, Mama, don't cry no more, I'm comin' home
