I used to dream about cars and things 'Bout being a star and things I thought that I would outgrow this feeling It seems my dream won't go away So it's more like a nightmare, keepin' me up all night Like a nightmare, it's taking over my mind My desire burns inside like a flame And it can't and it won't be contained 'Cause I gotta be famous I need to be somebody No one wants to be invisible Everyone just wants to be seen I know one thing is so irresistible 'Cause we all need a reason to be So I wanna matter to the world To a girl watching me on TV Watching me and I want her To wanna be me, to be me And I wanna be her dream, be hear dream So I gotta be famous I gotta be somebody So I gotta be famous I gotta be somebody And I'll do anything to get where you are I'll do anything to reach the stars You don't want what you have but I want it so bad You say it ain't fair but what ain't fair Is no one cares if you ain't famous, you ain't famous So I gotta be famous I gotta be somebody 'Cause I gotta be famous I need to be somebody
