Each day you try on a different person
Trying to find out who you really are
Now I think I have a way of knowing
When I'm very close I'm not too far.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/gerry+rafferty/next+to+me_20499987.html ]
I don't know just when I really found me
Times I wonder why it took so long
Only thing I know is deep inside me
When I'm there it makes me feel so strong.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm

(...with ELO-sounding backing vocals...)
Each day you try on a different person
Trying to find out who you really are
Now I think I have a way of knowing
When I'm very close I'm not too far.

Hmmmmmmm la-la-la-la-la Hmmmmmmm
