Lyrics

I want everyone – to like me
I want everyone to like me – real bad
I want everyone – to approve of me
Because when they disapprove of me, it makes me feel so sad

I wanna earn the respect of my peers
If it takes a hundred years
I'd like to find out where they are by the way
I would run to embrace them

I'm only kiddin
I'm really very modest once you get to know me

A house and a little land
Little someone to lend a hand
Little money set aside
God, then I would be satisfied

Want someone to tell me, one time: "honey you don't look well
Why doncha lie down for a couple years. i'll look after things."
A grown up woman would be nice
I'd like to flip her over once or twice
Find out what makes her tick

Some friends to call my own – god knows
A family and a home
A couple kiddies at my side
Keep me fat, and satisfied

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
