[Verse 1]
It's the guy from the one band
Cigarette in my left hand
Whole world in my right hand
25 and it's all planned
Night out and it's ten grand
Headlines that I can't stand

[Pre-Chorus]
But you only get half of the story
The cash, and the cars and the glory
No sleep and we party 'til morning
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring

[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you would do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew

[Verse 2]
If I had it my way, pub lunch every Sunday
Cheap beer and it's okay
I wanna lay where she lays
I wanna stay in these days
Gonna smoke and it's okay

[Pre-Chorus]
But you only get half of the story
The cash, and the cars and the glory
Just like everyone else here before me
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring

[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to

[Bridge]
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Can I just be the same?
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Let me be the same

[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew

[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to

[Outro]
If you only knew

Louis Tomlinson

Louis William Tomlinson, born Louis Troy Austin on December 24th, 1991, is an English pop singer-songwriter best known for his work as part of British-Irish sensation One Direction. Like his bandmates, Louis auditioned as a solo act on X-Factor UK in 2010 before being put into the group. Although they only came in third place, the boys became an international success and made five full albums, (Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, FOUR, and Made In The A.M.).

1D began an indefinite hiatus in 2015, and the next year, Louis became a father to Freddie Reign Tomlinson. In December 2016, Louis' mother Johannah Deakin died of leukemia and Louis dedicated his first performance of his debut single “Just Hold On” – a collaboration with “Steve Aoki” – to her.

Louis released his second single “Back to You,” a collaboration with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals in July 2017. Two more singles, “Just Like You” and “Miss You,” were released later that year.
