"I'm New Here" lyrics - GIL SCOTT-HERON

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

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again

Turn around, turn around, turn around
And you may come full circle
And be new here again
