Lyrics

A Part of Me
(Music and Lyrics Robert Wuagneux)

Everybody I seem to meet
wants to steal a part of me
Can?t they see if they don?t try so hard
they could have it all for free

Everybody I seem to meet
has a Peter to pay Paul
Happiness if you call it this
is borrowed or installed

And truth is now so arbitrary
based on how you feel
Values once so elementary
have become let?s make a deal

And I just don?t seem to understand
I followed and obeyed all the rules
I trusted and gave again and again
I used to have a portfolio
then the cruel winds did blow?
lost my job and then my friends
all the things upon which
success depends

Everybody I seem to meet
Seeks envy not esteem
waiting for that big event
to underwrite their dream

Everybody I seem to meet
Is just one big complaint
Looking round to find someone
to blame for what they ain?t

And truth is now so arbitrary
based on how you feel
Values once so elementary
have become let?s make a deal

And I just don?t seem to understand
I followed and obeyed all the rules
I trusted and gave again and again
I used to have a portfolio
then the cruel winds did blow?
lost my job and then my friends
all the things upon which success depends

Everybody I seem to meet
wants to steal a part of me
