Dem a say dem a know without you they will go
If you call them up you know they won't show
Everybody wants to be like you
When you're all alone and thinking at home
And you have no one to call them your own
Everybody wants to be like you
I would really hate to be her think they love her when they seeher
When she's gone she just don't know what they say
She inherited the drama it was passed down from her mama
And her daddy he would only drink wine
Only if she came around...but she's slowly going down
CHORUS
Girl comes home and checks her phone
She fools herself that she's not alone
Everybody wants to be like you
When it all boils down and all this ends
You turn around and you got no friends
Everybody wants to be like you
She looked a whole lot older yet nobody ever told her
You would never know that she was 16
And as far as I remember she was standing on the corner
Just the type that loved to be on the scene
Only if she came around...but she's slowly going down
CHORUS
And if you want it and you need it and you want to go out and getit
When it all boils down and all this ends you turn around and yougot no friends
Dem a say dem a know without you they will go
If you call them up you know they won't show
Everybody wants to be like you
When you're all alone and thinking at home
And you have no one to call them your own
Everybody wants to be like you
