Nobody can be exactly me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.
The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I'd make all the same mistakes - only sooner.
My heart is as pure as the driven slush
Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.
They made me sound as if I'd been castrated.
