I wanna be someone 

<Scatting> 

I wanna be someone
Be someone 

<Scatting> 

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 taking me too far 

Got a y girlfriend, hot on the scene
Her home is page twenty - Playboy magazine
She's got a great job on a 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 doing, and I'll tell you "just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God, I'm losing my mind 

<Scatting> 

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 [bad word] to Monte Carlo
Living for today - never thinkin' 'bout tomorrow 

I know the very best man, travelling 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
guy without a face, always feeling 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 doing, and I'll tell you "just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God, I'm losing my mind 

<Scatting> 

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 (Scatting)
Be someone (Scatting) 

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 doing, and I'll tell you "just fine"
But on the inside, swear to God, I'm losing my mind
(losin' my mind... losin' 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 

<Scatting> 'Cause I don't know how to be me (x2) 

<Scatting> - Your love ... to fade...
