I'm Not Like You

Sitting on the beach
Enjoying the sun
Thinking of everything
I'd ever done
I think of the future
and what will come
Life has just begun
There's much to see

I'm looking around
gotta see what's happening
Checking everything out
to see where I'm heading

You speak to me of love
what's right and wrong
And I tell you that I'm tired
of what I see going on
I'm not like you
Oh, no, I'm not like you

You say I'm a dreamer
and that I'd better change
You think it's because I'm young
but I don't want to get old
You know I'm happy
just playing my guitar
Writing songs for you 
is all I ever want to do

I'm looking around
gotta see what's happening
Checking everything out
to see where I'm heading

You say there is much more
than what I'm living for
and I tell you it's my life
let me live it my way
Because I'm not like you

You know I gotta be leaving
you pretty soon
But I want you to know
before I go away
That I love you very much
And I'm going to miss you
as much as you'll miss me

I'm looking around
gotta see what's happening
Checking everything out
to see where I'm heading

You're right, I am young
and I really don't understand
But I thank you for trying
to make me your kind of man
But I'm not like you

But I'm glad I'm your son
