I used to dream about cars and things

'Bout being a star and things

I thought that I would outgrow this feeling

It seems my dream won't go away



So it's more like a nightmare, keepin' me up all night

Like a nightmare, it's taking over my mind

My desire burns inside like a flame

And it can't and it won't be contained



'Cause I gotta be famous

I need to be somebody



No one wants to be invisible

Everyone just wants to be seen

I know one thing is so irresistible

'Cause we all need a reason to be



So I wanna matter to the world

To a girl watching me on TV

Watching me and I want her

To wanna be me, to be me

And I wanna be her dream, be hear dream



So I gotta be famous

I gotta be somebody

So I gotta be famous

I gotta be somebody



And I'll do anything to get where you are

I'll do anything to reach the stars

You don't want what you have but I want it so bad

You say it ain't fair but what ain't fair

Is no one cares if you ain't famous, you ain't famous



So I gotta be famous

I gotta be somebody

'Cause I gotta be famous

I need to be somebody
