The Goo Goo Dolls - James Dean lyrics

Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid
Things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothing but a clown
If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish
I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about
All the things my wish'd bring

Because I just want to be James Dean
I just want to be James Dean
I just want to be James Dean for a day
I want to be oversexed and underworked and
Look at me I'm such a jerk
And I just want to be James Dean for a day

Think about stories of the actors
And the movies stars
Sitting here watching the old men
Drinking at the bar
I think about Dean and all the
Things he should I have tried
I think about Dean and all
The ways he could've died yeah, died
And I wouldn't give a
Shit about anything because
I'd be such a big movie star
And that don't really do me much
Good just crying at the bar

Going crazy because I'm always all alone
Going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I
Know Dean he wouldn't care
If I was Dean I know
There'd be somebody there
Yeah, there'd 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 don't want to be James Dean
I don't want to be James Dean
I don't want to be James Dean anymore
