Been around the block with people

There are only two types of them

Some are hiding incognito

And some want all eyes on them

They crave undivided attention

They need just to be perceived

If putting on a show is your life's obsession

Then maybe just maybe you're a freak like me

Well there's a place you can visit, it's a basement hidden

In the middle of Ridgewood, Queens

Let it all hang out right in front of a crowd

If you're thinking' bout being seen

Singing la la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen

La la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen

But don't you know

The more I show

The more that

None of them can see inside of me

Funny how we can't see the irony yeah

The more they know

The more

I alienate them entirely

Hiding my face when I try to be

Seen

Oh seen

Everybody's got eyes on you

Ain't got a thing to do with fame

Everybody wants time with you

But they don't gotta really know your name

They say the city's great for people watching

I have to say I agree

Watch all of the people while they're watching you

While in absolute privacy

From the Tik Tok models to the open mic comics

To the people on your movie screen

From the content creators to your next door neighbor

Some people just wanna be seen

Singing la la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen

La la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen

But don't you know

The more I show

The more that

None of them can see inside of me

Funny how we can't see the irony yeah

The more they know

The more

I alienate them entirely

Hiding my face when I try to be

Seen

Oh seen

Baby drop it to the floor if you want some more

Cause you know that we're starting a scene

When we first locked eyes it was no surprise

That you and me, we both wanna be seen

Singing la la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen

La la la la la la la some people just wanna be seen
