[Verse 1]
I don't demand too much
But I know, I know
That I got potential
I’m just songs and bones and such
And I know, I know
You got too much to mention
Maybe I'm not rich and not as smart as some
But I'll make it up, I’ll make it up

[Chorus]
Oh, they can all be Nobel prizers with good intentions
Or be weekend fighters high up on chemicals
But all I'm after is to be something to you, something to you
I reckon that I could try harder to be sensational
The founding father of something pivotal
But all I'm after is to be something to you, something to you

[Verse 2]
I might not say it much
You know, you know
I've never been a wordsmith
But you've got all my luck
I know, I know
I should prove that I'm worth it
Do I wish I had the high life?
Maybe I do sometimes
But only 'cause I want to
Be whatever you're into
[Chorus]
Yeah, I could be a Nobel prizer with good intentions
Or be weekend fighter high up on chemicals
But all I’m after is to be something to you, something to you
I reckon that I could try harder to be sensational
The founding father of something pivotal
But all I’m after is to be something to you, something to you
Something to you, something to you
