lyrics

Lyrics:

Someone like me — it’s all I see
It’s all I know — just being me
The rules apply — just not to me
It’s all I know — it’s all I see

Someone like me — I’m underwhelmed
I’m undercover — pretending to be
Someone like me — I’m toe to the rubber
I’m blowing my cover — I’m easy to see

I’m hard to find — I blend right in
My altered mind — must hold its tongue
I need to find — a way to live
Where I’ve got mine — and old is young

‘Cause people like me can cause a stir
If we’re indiscreet and we say what we mean
Yeah people like me can cause a scene
When we look like a blur then slip in between

I’m a Cheshire Cat grin — not much to see
World ceases to spin — for someone like me
I’m a Cheshire Cat grin — not much to see
World ceases to spin — for someone like me

Someone like me — it’s all I see
It’s all I know — just being me
Someone like me — it’s all I see
The rules apply — just not to me

Someone like me — it’s all I see
It’s all I know — just being me
Someone like me — it’s all I see
The rules apply — just not to me

Someone like me — it’s all I see
It’s all I know — just being me
Someone like me — it’s all I see
It’s all I know — just being me

I’m a Cheshire Cat grin — not much to see
I’m a Cheshire Cat grin — not much to see
