You know your favorite old pair of shoes The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose Your favorite record that's all scratched and used But still you love to play when your feeling blue
That faded rose that's all dried out Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without Your high school pic when you had wild hair That stormy day on the beach that got us here
Oh, you better believe there's just one thing you need Can't you see...
It's just me baby It's just me baby If there's just one thing that you should keep In your book of dreams It's just me baby
Just like a shadow 10 feet tall Standing right behind you should you fall I'll be the one to hold you up to walk When this wicked world makes us want to crawl
Abd if your waves should ever break at sea I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas I'll be by your side, you can count on me
It's just me baby It's just me baby If there's just one thing that you should keep In your book of dreams It's just me baby It's just me baby What's it gonna take to make you see What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me
Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks Every time you go away
It's just me baby It's just me baby If there's just one thing that you should keep In your book of dreams It's just me baby It's just me baby What's it gonna take to make you see What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me
And if someday some new memory comes along Looking shiny new, feeling really strong You can tell him that I'll tell him He can just move on I'm a fighter - I've been fighting for you all night long It's just me baby
