[Verse 1]
You think that I will change
But you know that will never be
I'm just that way and that's just me
Well it's just the way I am
And I am doing all I can
Why can't you see I just can't change
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter what you say
My confidence will lead the way
Words will never do, sad but true
And if I didn't act this way
Well it just wouldn't be the same
That wouldn't do, cause I'm not you
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am, I am no Larry or a Sam
Why can't you see, I'm just that way!
Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear
Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear in front of my face
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Outro]
Ah, you're always getting what you want
But you never get what you need
You want it, I guess you just, well you're nevertheless
Just looking for your dream
A dream - you're looking for your dream
You're looking for your dream
I could care less what you see
You think that I will change
But you know that will never be
I'm just that way and that's just me
Well it's just the way I am
And I am doing all I can
Why can't you see I just can't change
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter what you say
My confidence will lead the way
Words will never do, sad but true
And if I didn't act this way
Well it just wouldn't be the same
That wouldn't do, cause I'm not you
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Post-Chorus]
That's just the way I am, I am no Larry or a Sam
Why can't you see, I'm just that way!
Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear
Well there it is, it's right here, so crystal clear in front of my face
[Chorus]
I could care less what you see
I'm just never the less here for me
You're always getting what you want
But you still keep looking
I guess you're just never getting what you need
With your eyes wide open
You still keep looking for your dreams
That's just me
[Outro]
Ah, you're always getting what you want
But you never get what you need
You want it, I guess you just, well you're nevertheless
Just looking for your dream
A dream - you're looking for your dream
You're looking for your dream
I could care less what you see
