I don't wanna be what you call great
I don't wanna live up to your name
I just wanna be a simple man
At the end of the day
I don't wanna be a millionaire
That dream is just for you I fear
I just wanna be a simple man
I just wanna be me
For so many days, I wanted to be just like you
Until I realized that I won't fit in your shoes
I used to look at you through a perfect lens
Thinking if I copied you, my life would be perfect then
I hoped it would be so right, but it just felt so wrong
And all the words that I sang, belonged to a different song
I don't wanna be what you call great
I don't wanna live up to your name
I just wanna be a simple man
At the end of the day
I don't wanna be a millionaire
That dream is just for you I fear
I just wanna be a simple man
I just wanna be me
And I can't help it, it's the way I feel
No I can't help it, it's the way I feel
You can't tell me that this ain't real
No you can't tell that this ain't real
So tell me are you proud?, even though I strayed away (even though I strayed away)
Or do you feel resentment, 'cause I made my own way (I made my own way)
And I don't wanna live a life that wasn't meant for me
And I don't wanna spend my days fulfilling your dreams
I hoped it would be so right, (I hoped it would feel so right) but it just felt so wrong
And all the words that I sang, belonged to a different song
I don't wanna be what you call great
I don't wanna live up to your name
I just wanna be a simple man
At the end of the day
I don't wanna be a millionaire
That dream is just for you I fear
I just wanna be a simple man
I just wanna be me
And I can't help it, it's the way I feel
No I can't help it, it's the way I feel
You can't tell me that this ain't real
No you can't tell that this ain't real
