Being happy's just a phase you're going through
And love it is the blindness of a fool
I sing my songs of dark and grey
They'll like my songs one of these days
You try to introduce me to your friends
I say, "Don't throw me in at the deep end"
Why do we have to go and meet the crowd?
You should know I always drown
And I wanna be like you
I wanna do the things that you do
You know I wanna be somebody
You know I wanna be someone
Our heroes are gone and dead
I dream of them when I'm tucked up in bed
People say that I should get a life
But they don't know how much I cry at night
And I wanna be like you
I wanna do the things that you do
You know I wanna be somebody
You know I wanna be someone
And when it's cold at night
I'll think of you and I'll be alright
The people that I want to know don't care
The ones I don't won't leave me time to spare
I think the only answer's suicide
I hope they find the note I'll leave behind
And I wanna be like you
I wanna do the things that you do
You know I wanna be somebody
You know I wanna be someone
And I wanna be like you
I wanna do the things that you do
You know I wanna be somebody
You know I wanna be someone
Just like you
