I Want You To Know Me

There's a storm cloud in my head

And I try to look my best

But the music's always sad

And it's almost always bad

You're on every screen

On the Tube, every magazine

And I wanna get out of here

If not now, then next year

I drove past your road last night

I sat by the wall

Where you shared your dreams

And I said nothing at all

But I wanna be a dancer – I can't dance

I wanna be an astronaut – no chance

I wanna be the singer in a pop band

And I want you to know me

I wanna be a star on a TV show

Who always saves the day with seconds to go

And I wanna be somebody I don't know

And I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) 'Cause I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) I want you to know me

So what am I gonna do?

A boy like me who wants to be someone like you

And all that bubble gum ain't sweeter than that

I'm gonna gonna pay off all my debts with my voice

Right hand on my chest

Hey, man

Hey, man

You got to really understand

I smoked on your road last night

I sat by the wall

Where you shared your dreams

And I said nothing at all

But I wanna be a dancer – I can't dance

I wanna be an astronaut – no chance

I wanna be the singer in a pop band

And I want you to know me

I wanna be a star on a TV show

Who always saves the day with seconds to go

And I wanna be somebody I don't know

And I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) Yeah, I want you to know me

(Oh-oh-oh) I want you to know me

Thought I saw you out last night, but

I'm not so sure

Thought I heard you say something, but

It's probably nothing at all

At all

But I wanna be a dancer – I can't dance

I wanna be an astronaut – no chance

I wanna be the singer in a pop band

And I want you to know me

I wanna be a star on a TV show

Who always saves the day with seconds to go

And I wanna be somebody I don't know

And I want you to know me
