What Im Worth by Eli Conley Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bus the tables at Sam's Pizza Place
Sometimes your kids ask when they see my face
"Are you a girl, are you a boy?"
Wish that I could say, "Why, yes I am"
"Matter of fact, I am a happy man"
But I don't know what my boss would say if he found out
Don't think you've met another man like me
Maybe you've seen a couple on TV
We all have to fight
For you to take us seriously
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
[Verse 2]
Stay in my room sometimes on Saturdays
Lie alone behind the lowered shades
Read my novels, smoke cigarettes and stare out into space
I got a little dream I'll chase someday
Drive out to Houston, some place far away
And nobody there will know who I used to be
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
[Verse 3]
Each day I wake up and I'm still right here
Using the same damn license to buy beer
'Cause it's nine hundred dollars to change your name in Doylestown
But I am the man that I was meant to be
I think it's time that you caught up to me
I won't change myself because you dislike what you see
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
I bus the tables at Sam's Pizza Place
Sometimes your kids ask when they see my face
"Are you a girl, are you a boy?"
Wish that I could say, "Why, yes I am"
"Matter of fact, I am a happy man"
But I don't know what my boss would say if he found out
Don't think you've met another man like me
Maybe you've seen a couple on TV
We all have to fight
For you to take us seriously
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
[Verse 2]
Stay in my room sometimes on Saturdays
Lie alone behind the lowered shades
Read my novels, smoke cigarettes and stare out into space
I got a little dream I'll chase someday
Drive out to Houston, some place far away
And nobody there will know who I used to be
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
[Verse 3]
Each day I wake up and I'm still right here
Using the same damn license to buy beer
'Cause it's nine hundred dollars to change your name in Doylestown
But I am the man that I was meant to be
I think it's time that you caught up to me
I won't change myself because you dislike what you see
[Chorus]
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
I got a name, it's not the one they gave at birth
I got a name, don't try to tell me what I'm worth
