Don’t Be Me” is Lucille May at her most honest — a country‑pop confession wrapped in soft grit and real‑life lessons. It’s the moment you finally admit you learned things the hard way, and you’re offering that truth with a little humor, a little heart, and a whole lot of clarity.
I’ve been told don’t expect more than you can get
They tell us to live within our means
They say that’s one of the keys to happiness
I ain’t trying to start no mess
Let me tell ya
Good advice is already out there
And it’s simple and free
Ask me how I know
Don’t be me
We all start out wanting to do well
But through no fault of our own
We still end up going through hell
We find ourselves sad and alone
Don’t give up along the way
Tomorrow really is another day
Grab another chance to find joy
Listen!
I’ve been told don’t expect more than you can get
They tell us to live within our means
They say that’s one of the keys to happiness
I ain’t trying to start no mess
Let me tell ya
Good advice is already out there
And it’s simple and free
Ask me how I know
Don’t be me
Don’t move in without a ring
I don’t care what he says
It don’t have to be a fancy thing
No? This love doesn’t have legs
And remember, don’t co-sign a loan
If you don’t want to own
A house, a car or a boat
Listen!
I’ve been told don’t expect more than you can get
They tell us to live within our means
They say that’s one of the keys to happiness
I ain’t trying to start no mess
Let me tell ya
Good advice is already out there
And it’s simple and free
Ask me how I know
Don’t be me
Ask me how I know
Don’t go fast, go slow
Ask me how I know
Don’t be memore
