This girl came up to me
Thought I looked really cool
Singing on TV
Said: I wanna be like you
'Cause your life is perfect
And you got no worries at all
Just tell me your secret
What do I gotta do?

She go: How does it feel living the dream?
How does it feel living the dream all the time?
She said: I
I gotta have this, wanna be rich
I gotta have this, wanna be rich in this life
Told her: I

I struggle to pay the rent
My dog is my only friend
I spend every day I’ve got
Being somebody I'm not
I made it all the way up
But somehow, it's still not enough
I spend every day I’ve got
Being somebody I'm not

Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Being somebody I'm not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I’m no-no-no-not
Being somebody I’m not

This girl came up to me
After a show
She wanted to do it
In the back of my Volvo
Said: Would you like to know me first
Before we take off our clothes?
She said: You're rich and famous
That’s all I need to know

She go: How does it feel living the dream?
How does it feel living the dream all the time?
She said: I
I gotta have this, wanna be rich
I gotta have this, wanna be rich in this life
Told her, I

I struggle to pay the rent
My dog is my only friend
I spend every day I've got
Being somebody I'm not
I made it all the way up
But somehow, it's still not enough
I spend every day I’ve got
Being somebody I'm not

Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Being somebody I'm not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Somebody I'm no-no-no-not
Being somebody I'm not
