Lyrics

Look around outside
Ain't nothin' to do but hang around
Think about all the silly things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown
And if I had a wish, I swear I wish
I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about
All the things my wish would bring, 'cause
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
I wanna be oversexed and underworked
And look at me, I'm such a jerk
And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
Think about stories and the actors and the movie stars
And you're watchin' the old man drinkin' at the bar
Think about Dean and all the things he should've tried
Think about Dean and all the ways he could've died
Yeah, died
And I wouldn't give a shit about anything
'Cause I'd be such a big, big star
And that don't really do me much good
Just cryin' at the bar, but
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
See, but I'm overworked and undersexed
Look at me, I'm such a wreck
And I just wanna be James Dean
For a day
I'm goin' crazy 'cause I'm always all alone
I'm goin' crazy, no one calls me on the phone
I think about Dean and I know Dean, he wouldn't care
But if I was Dean, I know there'd be somebody there
Yeah, there'd be somebody there
For me
See, I think about all the really cool things I could do and say
And then you go and you tell me that you found out Dean was gay
No, I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
Anymore
