Song Lyrics

"I Didn t Build It For Me"

by Daniel Amos (D?)
Album: Doppelg?nger

You think I built this for me'
You think I built this for me'
This isn't mine- it's yours, it's really for you,
I didn't build it for me,

I don't have the time to enjoy it,
I'm asked why I don't use the facilities,
I don't have the slightest inclination,
I won't consider it, I didn't build it for me,

Hey, you think I built this for me'
You think I built this for me'
This isn't mine- it's yours, it's really for you,
I didn't build it for me,

There's a plaque in the hall,
My name's on the wall,
A statue of my family,
It wasn't my decision,
It was all in a vision,
I didn't build it,
I never would have built it...
I really didn't build it for me.

You think I built this for me'
You think I built this for me'
This isn't mine- it's yours, it's really for you,
I did not build it for me.

One man stood alone,
One man did succeed,
I'm the man,
I'm the one,
I didn't build it for me,
One man stood alone,
Numero uno,
I'm the man,
I'm the one,
I'm the man of the hour.

You think I built this for me'
You think I built this for me'
This isn't mine- it's yours, it's really for you,
I did not build it for me,

I used to say, "Why doesn't somebody do something about this'"
I cried, "Oh, what about this need'"
Then a voice said, "You do something about it"
I said, "What' Me'"

I did not build it for me,
I did not build it for me,
This isn't mine - it's yours, it's really for you,
This isn't mine - it's yours, it's really for you,
This isn't mine - it's yours, it's really for you,
This isn't mine - it's yours, it's really for you,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
Didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it,
I didn't build it for me,
I didn't build it for me.

I'm sorry, I don't wanna talk about it.
