Scatman John

(I Want To) Be Someone

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
