I m livin in a world that won t stop pullin on me
I m not complaining but it s true
It s like I owe my time to everyone else
Cause that s all I seem to do

You might not notice but I need a good friend
Someone to talk to when I m down, down, down
There s so much on my mind that I want to get out
But there s no one around

Sometimes I can t help thinkin what about me
Some days go by that I don t even see
Yeah I m doing everything right and I can t break free
Oh is this the way it s always gonna be
What about me

Well I m dreamin I m on a highway with the windows down
I m burnin up the road at my own speed
But I m stuck here goin nowhere in this traffic jam
And there s a woman with her kids in the car next to me
And I swear she s singin

Sometimes I can t help thinkin what about me
Some days go by that I don t even see
Yeah I m doing everything right and I can t break free
Is this the way it s always gonna be
Hey, what about me

Oh, sometimes I can t help thinkin what about me
Some days go by that I don t even see
I m doing everything right and I can t break free
Oh is this the way it s always gonna be
What about me

Ooo what about me
Hey what about me
