I'll never be like you,
You know that I've tried to,
But no one can touch you,
Whatever I do, I'll never be you.

Could wear the right faces,
Be in all the right places,
Saw myself to be famous as you,
Wouldn't do, I'll never be you.

I could be a movie star,
My star right on the boulevard,
Still won't get to where you are,
You're perfect, it's true, I'll never be you.

Just to let you knooow!

Yeah, yeah!
Nothing lasts forever
So yeah, yeah!
Don't think you own the world,
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand,
But baby all I know is I will never be you.

Play all the right cards,
You're the one on the top charts,
You're everyone's sweetheart,
They like what you do, but I'll never be you.

You say I'll be happy,
If I do what you tell me,
But you don't even hear me,
So I say they were true and I'll never be you.

I'm a shooting star and I play the part,
But you push too far...
When I crash and fall, you don't care at all,
So now I'm standing tall!

Yeah, yeah!
Nothing lasts forever
So yeah, yeah!
Don't think you own the world,
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand,
But baby all I know is I will never be, never be you.

Yeah, yeah!
Nothing lasts forever
So yeah, yeah!
Don't think you own the world,
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand,
But baby all I know is I will never be, never be you
