I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
Be someone
Spending all your time never knowing what to say
Is my mode of operation day after day
Ain't got no money, I don't even drive a car
And my Nike tennis shoes ain't takin' me too far
Got a sexy girlfriend hot on the scene
Her home is page twenty, Playboy magazine
She's gotta a great job on the hotel circuit
If you press the right channel, and you know how to work it
I wanna be someone, I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doing, and I'll tell you: Just fine
But on the inside, I swear to God, I'm losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone, someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
I'm always so impressed with an American Express card
Picking up the ladies in a brand new Mercedes
Hop in my yacht, take a cruise to Monte Carlo
Living for today, never thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I know the very best men travelin' with the jet set
The only folks I ever meet live on the backstreet
Every day's another empty day in the life of a
Guy without a face, always feelin' out of place
I wanna be someone, I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doing, and I'll tell you: Just fine
But on the inside, I swear to God I'm losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone, someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
I wanna be someone
Be someone
I wanna be someone, I don't wanna be me
I'm always feeling less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doing, and I'll tell you: Just fine
But on the inside, I swear to God, I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind, losing my mind
I wanna be someone not just anybody
Want to be someone, someone like you
I've got to be someone 'cause I don't know how to be me
'Cause I don't know how to be me
'Cause I don't know how to be me
