I Want You To Know Me
There's a storm cloud in my head
And I try to look my best
But the music's always sad
And it's almost always bad
You're on every screen
On the tube, every magazine
And I wanna get out of here
If not now, then next year
I drove past your road last night
I sat by the wall
Where you shared your dreams
And I said nothing at all
But I wanna be a dancer, I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut, no chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a tv show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
And I wanna be somebody I don't know
And I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) 'cause I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) I want you to know me
So what am I gonna do?
A boy like me who wants to be someone like you
And all that bubble gum ain't sweeter than that
I'm gonna pay off all my debts
With my voice, right hand on my chest
Hey, man, hey, man
You got to really understand
I smoked on your road last night
I sat by the wall
Where you shared your dreams
And I said nothing at all
But I wanna be a dancer, I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut, no chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a tv show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
And I wanna be somebody I don't know
And I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) yeah, I want you to know me
(Oh-oh) I want you to know me
Thought I saw you out last night
But I'm not so sure
Thought I heard you say something
But it's probably nothing at all
At all
But I wanna be a dancer, I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut, no chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a tv show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
And I wanna be somebody I don't know
And I want you to know me
