[Intro]
Yeah, you!
Yeah, you!

[Verse 1]
I used to wanna be
Living like there's only me
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind (Yeah, you!)
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike (Yeah, you!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground I'm on, it keeps shaking
Oh-oh-oh, now!

[Chorus]
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah, you! Hahaha)

[Verse 2: Demi Lovato]
I used to run around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face (Yeah, you!)
I've got your photograph
But, baby, I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this (Yeah, you!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground I'm on, it keeps shaking
Oh-oh-oh, now!

[Chorus]
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah, you!)

[Bridge]
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, you!)

All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah, you!)

[Chorus]
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah, you!)

Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care (I just don't care)
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Is somebody to you (Somebody to you)

'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you (Yeah, you!)

Yeah, you!

The Vamps

The Vamps are a British band consisting of members Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball, and Tristan Evans.

The group was formed when solo artist James McVey wanted to start a band. He found Brad Simpson through an Ed Sheeran cover he posted on YouTube and messaged him on Facebook. They found drummer Tristan Evans through Facebook, and bassist Connor Ball through mutual friends.

Their appropriately named debut Meet The Vamps was released in the UK in April 2014. An alternate version was released in the US the following November, with the difference being added features by Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes on “Somebody To You” and “Oh Cecilia,” respectively. Both of these tracks, in addition to “Can We Dance” and “Last Night,” were released as singles.
