Dem a say dem a know without you they will go If you call them up you know they won't show Everybody wants to be like you When you're all alone and thinking at home And you have no one to call them your own Everybody wants to be like you
I would really hate to be her think they love her when they see her When she's gone she just don't know what they say She inherited the drama it was passed down from her mama And her daddy he would only drink wine Only if she came around...but she's slowly going down
CHORUS Girl comes home and checks her phone She fools herself that she's not alone Everybody wants to be like you When it all boils down and all this ends You turn around and you got no friends Everybody wants to be like you
She looked a whole lot older yet nobody ever told her You would never know that she was 16 And as far as I remember she was standing on the corner Just the type that loved to be on the scene Only if she came around...but she's slowly going down
CHORUS
And if you want it and you need it and you want to go out and get it When it all boils down and all this ends you turn around and you got no friends Dem a say dem a know without you they will go If you call them up you know they won't show Everybody wants to be like you When you're all alone and thinking at home And you have no one to call them your own Everybody wants to be like you
