I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
I used to be somebody but now I am somebody else
Who'm might 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, fame, and wealth
I used to be a preacher, with women, fame, and wealth
From a mighty congregation, to talking to myself

I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health
I was cleared of all the charges with money, women and my health
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
