lyrics
Someone Like Me
You say, you want, but you cannot have.
Oh no, oh no.
He’s out of your league, but it’s not for sure.
Oh no, oh no.
You don’t stand a chance, why don’t you accept,
Something less?
He will never have, what you have,
You’re in control.
She’s got your hands, tied behind your back.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
She’s out of your reach, but it’s not for sure.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
You don’t stand a chance, why don’t you accept,
Something less?
Woah...
She won’t give in, she’s afraid to lose,
She’d rather walk away.
Woah...
You don’t stand a chance, why don’t you accept,
What you have?
She’s no better, he’s no less,
You’ve been blessed.
You think that I don’t have faith in you.
I do, I do.
It’s just, that I don’t wanna’ see you hurt.
I don’t, I don’t.
Woah...
You don’t stand a chance, why don’t you accept?
What you have?
She’s no better, he’s no less,
You’ve been blessed.
