Somebody Like Me Lyrics

Tired of naggin' nothin's ever happen'en
That's the attitude that isn't fun
A bottle of wine, a tube of glue
I don't know what to do

I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks an live up my life

Tired of complaints I am ready for fun
But I'll make friends with anyone
Are you out there somebody like me
If you are, I hope that you can see

I am just a guy who likes to rock and roll
I am just a guy who likes to get drunk
I am just a guy who likes to dress punk
Get my kicks an live up my life

Don't go to school don't make me laugh
Can't hardly spell, can't do math
In the bar or out on the street
At the concert at the boutique

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Such a great track, Dee Dee really acknowledging the basics in life and also what essentially made the Ramones great;

to rock and roll to get drunk to dress punk live up life
