I turn on the radio
I can’t tell you how it goes
Only people like my sister know the lyrics
That’s not me

I live in stereo
Your boy never had a flow
Never listen to what everybody
Everybody else is hearing

Can’t tell what’s comin’ next and I
Feel a little lost
I always get distracted by
The music

No, I don’t know the words to my own song
I always get ‘em wrong
It’s so embarrassing
Yeah, I just make it all up as I go along
Sort of like Elton John minus Bernie
I need somebody
I need somebody

The moment I nail it down
It gets twisted all around
Try to bring it back to basics
Back to anything that I can comprehend
There are so many voices now
That threaten to drown me out
Will I ever get to singin’
Get to sing and will I make it to the end?

Can’t tell what’s comin’ next and I
Feel a little lost
I always get distracted by
The music

No, I don’t know the words to my own song
I always get ‘em wrong
It’s so embarrassing
Yeah, I just need somebody to come along
Sort of like Paul and John
You be my Cartney
Oh, and I’ll be Johnny
Yeah, I’ll be Johnny

Oh no, I don’t know the words to my own song
I always get ‘em wrong
It’s so embarrassing
Yeah, I just make it all up as I go along
Sort of like Elton John minus Bernie
I need somebody
