What About Me Lyrics
What About Me
Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...
CHORUS:
What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...
CHORUS
More than you give...
Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"
And now I'm standing on the corner, all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
CHORUS
What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...
What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
What about me?
What about....me?

what, no one's heard this amazing song, or at least commented on it?
this song is so good, its sad that Moving Pictures didn't make it.
This is an awesome song. I sand it on a National TV show in americ called "STAR SEARCH". It was kind of like the fore-runner to American Idol. Everyone loved the song too. I still play this song out acoustically when I play. wish they would have done some other albums because it would be interesting to see some of their work and how it progressed.
they could write killer melodies and great lyrics.
um i tink they did
myotismon, what made you think they didn't write this song? They did.
in america they're a one hit wonder. i hear what about me on the radio all the time, none of their other stuff from the Day's of Innocence album (which i have) and even though What about Me is my favorite song from the album, there are a bunch of others that are great.
what i meant by they didnt make it, was that they didnt make it in america, which is where i live....
I think they were pretty much one hit wonders here, too. Sad, 'cause this is an incredible song.
This song was made to be screamed at the top of your lungs after consuming significant amounts of alcohol.

this song i absolutely beautiful. it makes me wanna' just simply cry out. i treminds me of middle and high school where only certain people are loved and only a few kids have what they deserve and the best people get shoved into the background. it makes me wanna grab the PA mike an sing loudly out to the whole school and basically make them think, "what about me" the quiet kid in the shadows, don't i deserve to live my life?
This is undoubtedly my absolute favorite song, but this sight didn't get the lyrics correct. The lyrics go; "take a step and see the little people they might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big" that is very disappointing
