Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Doesn't seem to matter what I do
Always number two
No one knows how hard I tried
Oh-oh, I, I have feelings I can't explain
Drivin' me insane
All my life, been so polite
But I'll sleep alone tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just Ken
Anywhere else, I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?
I'm just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
[Bridge]
I wanna know what it's like to love
To be the real thing
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings?
Is my moment finally here or am I dreaming?
I'm no dreamer
[Chorus]
I'm just Ken
Anywhere else, I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?
I'm just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
[Chorus]
I'm just Ken
And I'm enough
And I'm great at doing stuff
So hey, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
My name's Ken
And so am I
So put that manly hand in mine
So hey, world, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
Baby, I'm just Ken
[Outro]
Merry Kristmas, Barbie
Wherever you are
