I don't take advice, I won't be told,
I fall in one trap after another,
Sometimes I wonder why I bother,

I am not greedy, I am not crass,
No airs and graces, I'm working class,
I work for every penny I earn,
And still I have so much to learn,

I don't suffer fools, but I treat them well,
For they may need some help themselves,
I am not perfect, just plain old me,
And what you get is what you see,

I am not sad, for lifes too short,
Its how I am, how I was taught,
I am not courageous, I am shy,
A quiet person,Now would I lie!

Just Plain Me

I am not brave , I am not bold,
I don't take advice, I won't be told,
I fall in one trap after another,
Sometimes I wonder why I bother,

I am not greedy, I am not crass,
No airs and graces, I'm working class,
I work for every penny I earn,
And still I have so much to learn,

I don't suffer fools, but I treat them well,
For they may need some help themselves,
I am not perfect, just plain old me,
And what you get is what you see,

I am not sad, for lifes too short,
Its how I am, how I was taught,
I am not courageous, I am shy,
A quiet person,Now would I lie!
