So you heard talking on the streets   All these things you can't believe   So you thought that you'd call me up to check and see      Say that you don't understand   It's not really who I am   But you left and you gave up your right to give a damn   When you went away   And now you say      It's not like me to drink alone   It's not like me to take her home   It's not like me   Oh, but darling, that ain't true   'Cause it's just like me without you      Just in case you're keeping score   You don't own me anymore   Things have changed since the day that you walked out my door      I did everything I could   When you were here to keep it good   Now I'm doing all the things you thought I never would   'Cause you wouldn't stay      It's not like me to drink alone   It's not like me to take her home   It's not like me to not be waiting by the telephone   It's not like me to mess around   It's not like me to wreck this town   It's not like me   Oh, but darling, that ain't true   'Cause it's just like me without you      It's not like me to drink alone   It's not like me to take her home   It's not like me to not be waiting by the telephone   It's not like me to mess around   It's not like me to wreck this town   It's not like me   Oh, but darling, that ain't true   'Cause it's just like me without you      Just like me without you      Oh, it's just like me without you
