It Won't Be Me Lyrics

One of these days, you're gonna need somebody
One of these days, darlin', you're gonna be hurtin' like me
No matter how much you try to apologize
You're gonna need somebody
Gonna want somebody, baby
Somebody to dry your eyes

It won't be me, oh no no no no no no no
It won't be me, it won't be me, ha
It won't be me, ha

One of these days, you're gonna be lonely
One of these days, darlin', you're gonna be so blue
You're gonna try to smile, but the hurt won't let you
One of these days, baby, you'll need somebody to be true

It won't be me, do you hear me?
No, no no no no, it won't be me, ha
It won't be me, it won't be me

You came, you saw, girl, you conquered me
I was bound by the fate of love
And oh, I work hard every day
To give you all my hard earned pay
It's goin' have to wait
Girl, the time is gonna come
I got it now for you, someday

One of these days, you're gonna want someone to want you
One of these days, looka here, you'll be in misery
Someday the change will fall, I'll bet you
You'll need, you'll need, it won't be me

Looka here, ha, it won't be Otis Redding
It won't be, it won't be Arthur Thomas, to sing sweet soul music
It won't be, ha, Wicked Pickett, in the midnight hour
It won't be, you won't have to look at Big Anderson, said think
It won't be Bobby Byrd, said he's a lisp to nobody
Aaaaaaaah!
