Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown
If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring
'Cause I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean, for a day
ย
I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me I'm such a jerk
And I just wanna be James Dean, for a day
ย
Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sitting here watching the old men drinking at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should've tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died, yeah, died
ย
And I wouldn't give a shit about anything 'cause I'd be such a big, big star
And that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar, but
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean, for a day
ย
But I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me, I'm such a wreck
And I just wanna be James Dean, for a day
ย
I'm going crazy cause I'm always all alone
I'm going crazy no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean, he wouldn't care
If I was Dean, I know there'd be somebody there
Yeah, there'd be somebody there
For me
ย
Yeah, I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
And, then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay
No, I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
Anymore
