I often used to open gigs with this song. The opening chords lull people into a false sense of security with a gentle melancholy which is quickly disturbed by me proclaiming that I only want to get into your pants and shag you.
This song and Get Into My Jeans are similar in many ways. They're both about a cynical approach to trying to get laid which is undermined by a sincere desire for love.
You can listen to Only Me and read the lyrics below.
Only Me
I'm not the man who will listen to your thoughts
I don't care about your interests or the clothes that you have bought
I've got blue eyes, I play guitar, I could be king of romance
But my mind dwells on higher things like getting into your pants
I stammer and avert my eyes, like a sensitive, new-age guy
You think I understand you, but I only want to shag you
It's only me
I didn't write the words that captured your emotion
Only Me
It's not my voice you hear that sings of true devotion
It's only me
I do not love you and I'll try to stay that way
Only me
I'm not the man you want believe me when I say I'm only me
You think I'm honest, I don't know if you're right
I couldn't grasp the truth enough to keep you up all night
Just a fool with no sex life, my truth is over-rated
I want to be like him and sample all the things he tasted
How can I stand up straight, how can I look you in the eye?
I know I told the truth but all I want to do is lie
It's only me
I didn't write the words that captured your emotion
Only Me
It's not my voice you hear that sings of true devotion
It's only me
I do not love you and I'll try to stay that way
Only me
I'm not the man you want believe me when I say I'm only me
You see I would love you, if I thought that it would help you
I wish you somehow wanted me, I'd show you just how noble I can be
I didn't write the words that captured your emotion
Only Me
It's not my voice you hear that sings of true devotion
It's only me
I do not love you and I'll try to stay that way
Only me
I'm not the man you want believe me when I say I'm only me
