This is me, I write the songs
I try to right more than I'm wrong
I play the game, albeit not that well
I've done some things of which I'll never tell

When things are good, I stay the same
When things get bad, I don't complain
I may not be all that you hoped I will be
But I am just me

I come up short all over town
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
When I give back, I take a little for myself
I am just like anybody else

I play the fool, have but one vice
I am not always very nice
I live my life on stage, on queue
I do the things I have to do

Of this I am sure, life can be shit
I wouldn't change one day a bit
I may not be all that you hoped I will be
I know I am not the best you'll ever see

I may not be all that you hoped I would be
But I am just me

Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is an American R&B singer-songwriter, arranger, producer, and musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays eight instruments including piano, guitar, bass guitar, percussion, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn and trumpet. He is one of the very few leggiero tenors in the pop genre. McKnight is perhaps most recognized for his strong falsetto and belting range. McKnight’s work has earned him 16 Grammy Awards nominations, though he has never won. Actually, he is currently tied with Snoop Dogg for the record of most Grammy nominations without a win.
