i want to be someone

Scatman John

I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
Be someone waoh waoh

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
Gotta sexy girlfriend hot on the scene
Her home is page 20 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, 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 met travlin 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 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
Waoh waoh waoh I wanna
Be someone waoh waoh waoh
Be someone skep bob doop bop ba doba dop

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

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
