Who Did You Think I Was Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got half a smile and zero shame
I got a reflection with a different name

[Pre-Chorus]
Got a brand new blues that I can't explain

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?

[Verse 2]
Every mornin', when the day begins
I make up my mind, then change it back, again


[Pre-Chorus]
I've been a shifter of the shape I'm in

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?

[Pre-Chorus]
You got my number, but I always knew the score

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?
[Verse 2]
Am I the one who plays the quiet songs?
Or is he the one who turns the ladies on?


[Pre-Chorus]
Will I keep shining 'til my light is gone?

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?

[Pre-Chorus]
You got my number, but I always knew the score

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]
Here is a line that you won't understand:
I'm half of a boy, but I'm twice the man

Carry the weight of the world in the palm of my hand

[Chorus]
Who did you think I was?
Who did you think I was?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
