Just Like Me Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

He's so independent 

He acts like he couldn't care less for us all 

He's someone's descendent 

Their child 

But he'll never acknowledge their call 

He's afraid to be loved 

And I know he's afraid not to be 

And he'll laugh and he'll cry 

and someday he'll die 

Just like me

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Just like me 

He's settling a score 

With a world 

That wants a reason 

Every time you turn around 

Just like me 

He's looking for a door 

Standing open, saying welcome 

Come and lay your troubles down 

Just like me 

He'll drop his pretenses 

You'll see through the stone to the heart of the man 

But the moment he senses you've seen him 

He'll leave you as fast as he can 

He'll return to his shadows 

Where no one can look in and see 

And he'll wake in the night 

And he'll cry like a child 

Just like me

Just like me 

He's settling a score 

With a world that wants a reason 

Every time you turn around 

Just like me 

He's looking for a door 

Standing open, saying welcome 

Come and lay your troubles down 

Just like me 

I've seen him look hungry for someone 

To tell him "You're doing just fine" 

The songs that he's sung me 

Have loneliness woven between every line 

With no strings to hold him 

I guess he could call himself free 

Yes, he's free to be empty and lonely and wrong 

Just like me 

Just like me 

He's settling a score 

With a world that wants a reason 

Every time you turn around 

Just like me 

He's looking for a door 

Standing open, saying welcome 

Come and lay your troubles down 

Just like me
