(I Want To) Be Someone Scatman John

[Intro]
I wanna be someone
I wanna be someone
Be someone

[Verse 1]
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
Got a sexy girlfriend hot on the scene
Her home is page twenty, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
