Lyrics

Wanna Be Somebody
Brian Fellows

Tired of love, tired of life, I just don?t wanna play all these foolish little games anymore.
I?m tired of me, I?m tired of you, I?m sick of this whole generation.
You?re all hung up on yourselves anyway.

I wanna be free, wanna be done, wanna be lyin in the sun. I wanna be rich, I wanna be there, I wanna be anywhere but here, and I swear it?ll be alright, yeah, it?ll be alright I tell myself, every night.

Cause I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be proud to say ?hey man, won?t you just take a look at me.?
I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be someone who is happy saying ?hey man look at me.?

I?m tired of love, tired of life; I just don?t wanna play all these foolish little games anymore.
I?m sick of walking, I?m sick of talking; they both don?t ever seem to take me anywhere anyway.

I wanna be free, I wanna be done, I wanna be lyin in the sun. I wanna be loved, wanna belong, I wanna be, but it takes so long, and I swear it?ll be alright, yeah, it?ll be alright I tell myself, every night.

Cause I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be proud to say ?hey man, won?t you just take a look at me.?
I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be someone who is happy saying ?hey friend??

I?m still here just like yesterday, going nowhere, the hour?s running late, and I?m so tired and I wanna move on, and I?ve got to find it, if it really exists.

I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be proud to say ?hey man, won?t you just take a look at me.?
I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be someone who is happy saying ?take a look at me.?
I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be proud to say hey man?
(I wanna be free, I wanna be done, I wanna be lyin in the sun, I wanna be rich, I wanna be there, I wanna be anywhere but here)
I just wanna be somebody, I wanna be someone who?s happy?
(I wanna be loved, I wanna belong, I wanna be, but it takes so long, I wanna be free, I wanna be done, I wanna be lyin in the sun)
I just wanna be somebody?
(I wanna be rich, I wanna be there, I wanna be anywhere but here, I wanna be loved, I wanna belong, but it takes so long?)
