I Want Everyone to Like Me
[Verse 1]
I want everyone to like me
Want everyone to like me real bad
Want everyone to approve of me
'Cause when you disapprove of me, it makes me feel so sad
[Bridge]
Wanna earn the respect of my peers
If it take a hundred years
I'd like to find out where they are, by the way
I would run to embrace them
[Verse 2]
I'm only kiddin'
I'm really very modest once you get to know me
[Bridge]
A house and a little land
Little someone to lend a helping hand
Little money set aside
God, then I would be satisfied
[Verse 3]
Want someone to tell me one time: "Honey, you don't look well
Why don't you lie down for a couple years? I'll look after things, yeah"
A grown up woman would be nice
Like to flip over once or twice
Find out what makes her tick
[Bridge]
Some friends to call my own, God knows
A family and a home
Couple kiddies at my side
Keep me fat and satisfied
[Verse 4]
I want everyone to like me
That's one thing I know for sure
I want everyone to like me
'Cause I'm a little insecure
