You can see me on a movie screen Except I don't mix well with a social scene And when I see you and all the things you do All the words you know, wish I even had a clue Speak up Nobody's ever listening to you Talk up Somebody's bound to listen to you You're running circles all around me While I sit in your shadow waiting for some company Someday you'll teach me the proper way to sing And how to hold my own and tell the world just what I think Speak up Nobody's ever listening to you Talk up Somebody's bound to listen to you You're not the black sheep You're the needle-a in the hay What a lonely tale you're weaving So just be yourself Just be yourself I think of all the limelight just waiting for these eyes Instead I sit here thinking 'bout how hard I never tried It won't be long till all the honey's dry And the sands of time have washed away my dreams in life
