    Default I Want To Be Just Like You

    Hey girl it's nice to meet you
    A new friend that's pretty cool
    Now I can figure out what to do
    With my life that just ain't cool
    "Chorus"
    Yeah I am
    Looking for the best friends
    The ones at the top of the school
    The ones that are so damn cool
    Yeah I want the very best friends
    I want to be just like you

    I'm going to check out their Facebook's
    And figure out what they do
    I'm going to have the same looks
    As those that are just so cool
    "Chorus"
    Yeah I am
    Looking for the best friends
    The ones at the top of the school
    The ones that are so damn cool
    Yeah I want the very best friends
    I want to be just like you

    I'll change my personality
    I realize it ain't that great
    Now I will become just like you
    And do exactly what you do
    I'll follow you around
    I'll chase you down
    Until you associate with me
    Look at me now I'm just like you
    Come on come on!!
    "Chorus"
    Yeah I am
    Looking for the best friends
    The ones at the top of the school
    The ones that are so damn cool
    Yeah I want the very best friends
    I want to be just like you

    Today I'm stranded in the pool
    Full of all the uncool
    Next to the kid with
    The fake tattoo
    How did I end up so uncool
    My attempts at being uber cool
    Have drowned in a sea of rejection
    I think I have an obsession
    With trying to be so cool
    "Outro"
    So what's the lesson
    Did you learn
    Never try to be cool
    Just be you
    There is not enough space or time to truly let the song unwind

    John......will you stop writing so many great songs?You're embarrassing the rest of us,that can't knock them out like you do!Not only do I like this,and the "I want to be like you" line,but the humor is top notch,which you know I'm all in with being as humorous as possible.I don't recall smiling quite as much with your songs/poems before,but this,IMO,is a step in the right direction.I wrote a song,it was pushed down due to Spam Attack,(want to buy some jerseys?this is THE GUY)that mentioned Facebook.I won't say if the story is true or not,that's up to the reader.Another home run.......as usual!

    Haha thanks Doug I'm trying to incorporate more of my humor in my songs unfortunately a lot of my humor would get me kicked off this site hahaha. So of course I got to keep it toned down a little.

    John, you have outcooled us all with this ubercool song. The kid with the fake tattoo. That was the killer punchline for me. I bet they were playing "I've Got You, Babe" in that place (just like Groundhog Day)
