The Statler Brothers – Different things to different people lyrics

Album: Short Stories

I'm Daddy to the little boy,
That sits upon my knee.
I'm son to the Mama,
Who says she's proud of me.
I'm a brother, who could do no wrong,
To a sister, true and kind.
A a friend, who will hear it all,
To a few good friends of mine.

I'm Boss to the people,
Who cash the checks I sign.
But just a kid to the old folks,
Who've known Daddy a long, long time.
I'm a husband to the good wife,
Who deserves much more I know.
And just a memory to someone,
From a long, long time ago.

Chorus-
Different things to different people,
There's so much to be and do.
Different things to different people,
Can I just be me to you?

To some folks, I'm a rich man,
To others, I'm poor.
To some, I'm an idol,
To others, I'm a bore.
To God, I'm a sinner,
To my loved ones, I'm a saint.
And to me, I'm a little,
Of everything I ain't.

Chorus-
Different things to different people,
There's so much to be and do.
Different things to different people,
Can I just be me to you?

Can I just be me with you?
