I just wanna be you

I've got too much static inside my brain

I know that it's no use to always complain

but I've got troubles within my head

and it makes me wish I was you instead

oh, oh, oh, what am I gonna do

I just wanna be you

everything I do makes me wanna scream

there must be some way out of this bad dream

if I was you I wouldn't be depressed

I would be the man to whom you say "yes"

oh, oh, oh, I wanna be brand new

I just wanna be you

          I look in the mirror

          you know who I don't find

          someone who's exactly you

          to give me peace of mind

maybe tomorrow I'll scream and shout

and plot and plan my own way out

but until then, right here I'll stay

until I get out of my own way

oh, oh, oh, I don't have a clue

I just wanna be you
