Scatman John I Want To Be Someone Lyrics

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
