Home › G › Goo Goo Dolls › James Dean (3:50)

Look around outside
Aint nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that Ive done
I guess I aint nothin but a clown

If I had a wish, I swear Id wish, Id wish for just one thing
And I dont even like to think about all the things my wishd bring

cause I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
For a day

I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me Im such a jerk

And I just wanna be james dean
For a day

Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sittin here watchin the old men drinkin at the bar
I think about dean and all the things he shouldve tried
I think about dean and all the ways he couldve died
Yeah died

And I wouldnt give a shit about anything cause Id be such a big movie star
And that dont really do me much good just cryin at the bar

But I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
I just wanna be james dean
For a day

See but Im overworked and undersexed and look at me Im such a wreck

And I just wanna be james dean
For a day

Going crazy cause Im always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about dean and I know dean he wouldnt care
If I was dean I know thered be somebody there
Yeah thered be somebody there
For me

Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
Then you go and tell me that you found out dean was gay

No, I dont wanna be james dean
I dont wanna be james dean
I dont wanna be james dean
Anymore
Hmmm
