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