Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait." Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time. Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole's personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak.

Me Lyrics
Paula Cole
I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at peoples jokes
I just pacify their egos
I am not my house or my car or my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like winter
Im a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave
Chorus:
And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence
I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers
But you cant kill my spirit
Its soaring and its strong
Like a mountain
I go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground
Chorus
And its me whos too weak
And its me whos too shy
To ask for the thing I love
And its me whos too weak
And its me whos too shy
To ask for the thing I love
That I love (6 times)
I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And Im scared as hell
But I know theres something better
Yes I know theres something
Yes I know, I know, yes I know
That I love (5 times overlapping chorus)
But its me
And its me
But its me (4 times)
