Neil Diamond - I am I said 1971 <br /> <br />L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time <br />And the feeling is 'lay back' <br />Palm trees grow, and rents are low <br />But you know I keep thinkin' about <br />Making my way back <br /> <br />Well I'm New York City born and raised <br />But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores <br />L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home <br />New York's home, but it ain't mine no more <br /> <br />"I am," I said <br />To no one there <br />An no one heard at all <br />Not even the chair <br />"I am," I cried <br />"I am," said I <br />And I am lost, and I can't even say why <br />Leavin' me lonely still <br /> <br />Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king <br />And then became one <br />Well except for the names and a few other changes <br />I you talk about me, the story's the same one <br /> <br />But I got an emptiness deep inside <br />And I've tried, but it won't let me go <br />And I'm not a man who likes to swear <br />But I never cared for the sound of being alone <br /> <br />"I am," I said <br />To no one there <br />An no one heard at all <br />Not even the chair <br />"I am," I cried <br />"I am," said I <br />And I am lost, and I can't even say why <br />Leavin' me lonely still
