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
