lyrics

‘Don't Wanna Be You’

Don't even know ya, don't need to know ya.
I can tell from here that you're a phoney.
I could tell in the way you forgot my name,
you ain't got no shame so long as you get paid.

Can't look me in the eye, yeah I know your style.
Backed into a corner but you'll still lie.
You got your way I'm left standing in the rain.
As you drive on by. Get lost! Goodbye!

Yeah you think you're so much fun.
Get what you want, look affter number one.
And I'm so glad I'm me—don't wanna be you.
Yeah I'm so glad I'm me—don't wanna be you.

Who put you where you are?
Your Mom and your Pa?
You've got everything you want but you're so sad.
I wanna kick you in the face you useless waste.
You think you're the shit with your fancy car.

Don't even see you've got no friends,
try to buy them all, so you spend, spend, spend.
No one really cares, they just grin and bear
—'cos you're an easy mark and you'll pick up the tab.
It's only you, you love, and you're so ruthless
a spoilt brat that always got what it wished for.
And I'm just glad I'm me, don't wanna be you.
Yeah I'm just glad I'm me, don't wanna be you.

Who do you think you are with your super-suave?
You come on thinking you're some movie star.
You make me cringe with your rich kid winge.
Take the family yacht and go for a dive.
Don't care who you are, you went to far,
got in my way flashing credit cards.
Wrecked my fun, you selfish thug,
but I'll have my day, and again you'll pay.
If I don't see you again, it won't be too soon.
If it happens some time that I run into you.
Well I'll still be glad I'm me—don't wanna be you.
Yeah I'm so glad I'm me—don't wanna be you.
Yeah I'm just glad I'm me—don't wanna be you.
Yeah you're gonna wish it too—you won't wanna be you.
