Be Somebody
It don't make sense
So don't ask me
Why I kinda really
Wanna be Gatsby
We could hang out
At my penthouse
Waste time all night
Gettin' all spaced out
Just a daydream that I invented
Never got around to reading your message
Don't take it personally
Can't go back I get a little sidetracked
Gotta try but I guess I never liked that
Gonna blow steam
Wanna go first?
Never bad but
When's it gonna get worse?
Had my name changed
Did I invent this?
Smile wide
Cus I got a new dentist
Never stand out
But now I gotta blend in
Had a dollar in my pocket
But I guess I just spent it
I just wanna be somebody
I can't just fade away to nothin'
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
This could be the start of something
I know that now the best is coming
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Big windows
On a glass house
So I'll never miss a
Chance for a view out
You could visit
In my guest room
It'll be
Super easy to get to
Some daydream that I invented
All luxurious things that I rented
I won't take it personally
Can't go back I get a little sidetracked
Gotta try but I guess I never liked that
Gonna blow steam
Wanna go first?
Never bad but
When's it gonna get worse?
Had my name changed
Did I invent this?
Smile wide
Cus I got a new dentist
Never stand out
But now I gotta blend in
Had a dollar in my pocket
But I guess I just spent it
I just wanna be somebody
I can't just fade away to nothin'
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
This could be the start of something
I know that now the best is coming
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Can't go back I get a little sidetracked
In the ring and it's gonna be a done match
Gonna blow steam
Wanna go first?
Got a black card
Hidden in a gold purse
Just a daydream
That I invented
Smile wide
Cus I got a new dentist
Never standing out
But I'm never gonna blend in
Let's not bore us with the chorus
Let's get on with the ending
I just wanna be somebody
I can't just fade away to nothin'
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
This could be the start of something
I know that now the best is coming
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I just wanna be somebody
I can't just fade away to nothin'
So don't ask me
Why I kinda really
Wanna be Gatsby
