Be Like You
Sitting on my parents carpet watching that old box TV
Right in that second you sparked it
It's like you were singing right to me
Maybe I'd make some friends
They'd for sure like me then, if I looked like you did
With my name up in lights it would all be alright
So I close my eyes and I say
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
Now I'm clocking in for the late shift whatever it takes to survive
And I watch you walk in with a watch
On your wrist that's worth more than my life
Then you throw down your card, said, "This one's for the bar"
Tell me what it's like to get that far
Oh, what is your secret?
How's it feel to be treated like a superstar?
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like, be like
Going through an old stack of photos I see one of 8-year-old me
She looks so happy her eyes full of dreams if only she could see
She got all that she wanted, but lost her in the process
A tear falls in that moment as I say
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
Right in that second you sparked it
It's like you were singing right to me
Maybe I'd make some friends
They'd for sure like me then, if I looked like you did
With my name up in lights it would all be alright
So I close my eyes and I say
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
Now I'm clocking in for the late shift whatever it takes to survive
And I watch you walk in with a watch
On your wrist that's worth more than my life
Then you throw down your card, said, "This one's for the bar"
Tell me what it's like to get that far
Oh, what is your secret?
How's it feel to be treated like a superstar?
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like, be like
Going through an old stack of photos I see one of 8-year-old me
She looks so happy her eyes full of dreams if only she could see
She got all that she wanted, but lost her in the process
A tear falls in that moment as I say
I wanna be like you someday
That'd make my problems float away
If I had what you had, I'd never be sad
I wouldn't ask for anything
Yeah, I wanna be like you someday
I wanna be like you
