(chorus)
my oh my, don't you wanna be just like him
walk tall just like him
looking so comfortable in his skin
why, oh why, couldn't we all be just like that
wish we all got that
looking so comfortable in our skin
(verse 1)
he's so cool, he's so fly
he's turning heads in the hall in his own mind
he's so smooth, and so fresh
first string in his dreams and nothin' less
he don't know, he don't care
talkin' thrift store shirts and messed up hair
no style, but no doubt
he's the real deal, tell me it's all about
(verse 2)
he's got low profile
he don't know, don't show with that cocky smile
he can't play, he can't dance
unaware, unafraid, so he's taking a chance
no money, no friends
but if he had it all over, bet ya he'd do it again
he's not loud, he's not proud
but he's the real deal, tell me what it's all about
(bridge)
and maybe I've got everything
but there's just one thing that I need
to be like him I've got to be
a little comfortable with me
(rap break)
he's rockin' dirty chucks
he's rockin' nerdy pants
he's steppin' on the floor
he's gonna take a chance
it doesn't matter much
if he ain't got game
'cause he's a superstar, baby
future Hall of Fame
