Gil Scott-Heron
I’m New Here
[1]
I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
But I'm new here
Will you show me around
No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around
Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near impossible to forget
She said I had an ego on me
The size of Texas
Well I'm new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small
No matter how far wrong you've gone
You can always turn around
And I'm shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy
But I'm the closest thing I have
To a voice of reason

[2]
I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things
I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word
[3]
Turn around turn around turn around
You may come full circle
And be new here again
