Song about wanting to be like someone else


Musicperson

Recommended Posts

...could you provide some clue? :P

I thought of "Why Can't I be You?" - The Cure...

or maybe Ben Lee and "I Wish I Was Him":

It may sound stupid when I say it out loud

Like I'm just jealous of his silver cloud

He looks real good he drinks diet Coke

He gets his NME's sent by air not boat

I wish I was him

He gets the women at his feet

With all his cool friends

He gets his records for free

I wish I was him

He has no enemies

I wish I was him

He's got six different flannel shirts

Airwalks not thongs

He even understands the words to Pavement songs

He's got his new guitar toys

He loves Smudge and the Beastie Boys

*I wish I was him

He gets the girls at his feet

With all his cool friends

He gets his records for free

I wish I was him

He has no enemies

I wish I was him

I feel much better now I've let it all out

He's got big biceps and a masculine shout

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to be mean

But he plays guitar much faster than me

I wish I was him

He gets the girls at his feet

I wish I was him

He has no enemies

With all his cool friends

He gets his records for free

I wish I was him

I wish I was him

Billionaire-Travie McCoy feat. Bruno Mars

[bruno Mars]

I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad

Buy all of the things I never had

Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]

Oh every time I close my eyes

I see my name in shining lights

A different city every night oh

I swear the world better prepare

For when I’m a billionaire

[Travis "Travie" McCoy]

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah

I would be the host of, everyday Christmas

Give Travie a wish list

I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt

And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t

Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this

And last but not least grant somebody their last wish

Its been a couple months since I’ve single so

You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho

Get it, hehe, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit

And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did

Yeah can’t forget about me stupid

Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music
