I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
Who I'll be tomorrow is anybody's guess.

What was thought to be the right way turned out the wrong way after all
What was thought to be the right way turned out the wrong way after all
What I took to be the high road
Was only leading to a fall.

I used to be a preacher, with women and fame and wealth
I used to be a preacher, with women'n'fame and wealth
From a mighty congregation
To talking to myself.

I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my pills
I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my pills
Now that I'm a brand-new man,
You belong with someone else.

I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
Who I'll be tomorrow is anybody's guess --
Anybody's guess.
