[Verse 1]
You never loved me like you loved JT back in '03
Up on MTV on a stage wearing shoes made of diamonds
Singing songs about you like a siren
No, I won't be what you seem to need
Guess I don't see what you seem to see
Ain't got troops in a crowd all united
Ain't got you screaming loud and excited

[Chorus]
I can't ever be the Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just can't measure up
No, I'm not in sync with the fashion
I ain't got the passion, never gonna be what you want
Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just don't dress the part
No, I ain't got Nikes and my hair ain't spiky
And we both know that I can't be your Backstreet Boy

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
You'll never want me like you want CDs from the ninetiеs
Like you want McLean and I can't say
To your face I don't want it that way
You seem stuck in thе decade that you were born
Hoping one day you'll wake up on a tour bus headed to Rome
For a Colosseum concert with thousands of crazy fans
Looking up at the stage at me dancing knowing I'm your man
[Chorus]
I can't ever be the Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just can't measure up
No, I'm not in sync with the fashion
I ain't got the passion, never gonna be what you want
Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just don't dress the part
No, I ain't got Nikes and my hair ain't spiky
And we both know that I can't be your Backstreet Boy

[Break]
(Backstreet, Backstreet)
(Backstreet)

[Chorus]
I will never be the Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just can't measure up
No, I'm not in sync with the fashion
I ain't got the passion, never gonna be what you want (Never gonna be what you want)
Backstreet Boy you want me to
I just don't dress the part
No, I ain't got Nikes and my hair ain't spiky
And we both know that I can't be your Backstreet Boy

[Drop]
(No, I can't be your Backstreet Boy)
(No, I can't be your Backstreet Boy)
(You know)
