I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
To be someone
Spendin' all your time never knowin' 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 got 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 feelin' less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doin' and I'll tell you, "Just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God I'm losin' my mind
I wanna be someone
Not just anybody
Wanna 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
Livin' 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 back street
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 feelin' less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doin' and I'll tell you, "Just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God I'm losin' my mind
I wanna be someone
Not just anybody
Wanna 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 feelin' less than everybody I see
You ask me how I'm doin' and I'll tell you, "Just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God I'm losin' my mind
Losin' my mind, losin' my mind
I wanna be someone
