Song Description

T-Pain supplied the hook and I composed the remainder of the lyrics for a contest entry at Our Stage back in March, 2010. Found out too late that only US artists could qualify. Good for a chuckle if nothing else.

Lyrics

You moved into my neighborhood, knocked me off my feet
A body that electrifies, a smile that lights the street
Everybody else would like a taste of something sweet
Everybody else that you've got movin' to your beat

I see you passing by but your eyes look right thru me
I've been way too lonely and I need some TLC
Seems you've got an interest in everyone but me
Everybody else's face is all you ever see

Feels like I'm invisible, my life's gone down the drain
Maybe you don't get around and never heard my name
Would it make a difference if you knew I was T- Pain
Maybe I'll be no one if it keeps me in the game

I could be a rock star or an ordinary Joe
Wear a Gucci wardrobe or someone else's clothes
Would you take a notice if I hung out with the bros

A football quarterback, a hustler playing pool
An actor on the screen, no one you'd ridicule
Everybody else around who's got it bad for you
Everybody else who ya wanna sock it to

I'll blend in with the crowd or standout like a freak
I can look like Mr. Cool by turning up the heat
Everybody else would have a better chance than me
Everybody else

Will Smith, Michael Jordon, Denzel Washington
The guy from 007 or maybe Superman
Everybody else in sight you're attracted to
Everybody else who might have a thing for you

We'll go to far-off places you've never seen before
My buddy runs a cruise ship, a pilot lives next door
Everybody else can come who thinks they're gonna score
Everybody else, ya dig

Ludacris, Lil Wayne or Gorilla Joe
Everybody you've ever heard that's on the radio
Everybody else that's playing on a video
Everybody else you'd ever wanna know

I'll trade this life with anyone and everyone you see
Everybody else can keep it real and set me free
Someday everybody's gonna see the real me
Everybody shawty

No matter how I look to you, whoever I become
I'll treat you like an angel cuz I know where you came from
I'll be everyone but you, you're not like everyone
Everybody else won't be laughing when I'm done

Once you get to know me, I'll try and be myself
I don't wanna keep pretending I'm somebody else
Living incognito is a danger to my health
I'll end up crazy like everybody else!
