[Verse 1]
At first I told myself
I need my head inspected
I noticed little things
Same T-shirt and sunglasses
Then it got weirder see
She cut her hair like me
She bought a red guitar
Kept driving round in my car
[Verse 2]
I'm kissing her and she
She slams me against the wall
She crashed into a bus
Chasing some super model
She's analysed my smile
She's memorised my phonebook
She always wears my clothes
Her favourite words are fu- you
[Bridge]
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you
[Chorus]
Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
[Verse 3]
I'm saying something's wrong
She's out back playing soccer
She used to do ballet
Now she's a heavy smoker
She's so obsessed with me
Now she stands up to pee
And now her stupid games
Have started taking over
[Verse 4]
Don't need no special help
No need to see a doctor
I know your worried but
I'm telling you just watch her
Its like she's cracked my code
Knows things I've never spoke of
She wants sex all the time
And still finds time to jerk-
[Bridge]
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you
[Chorus]
Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
[Break]
I'm in the loony bin
Wearing a pale pink nightie
The nurse comes through the door
And whispers so politely
"Your boyfriend's here to see you
Look pretty take a bath
I love his silly band
Can I get his autograph?"
[Bridge]
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you
[Chorus]
Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me
I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be
She wants to be
She wants to be me
