Everybody tells me
that it's so hard to make it
Yet so hard to break it
And there's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe it
The dreams that I'm dreaming
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind
OH!
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
Tell me, TELL me something I don't know
Tell me, TELL me something I don't know
Everybody tells me I Don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing
The odds of me loosing
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million
More like one in a billion
or one in a zillion
I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to anything
But they're never gonna change my mind
OH!
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
I'm on my way
I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy
(Three times)
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
Tell me, TELL me, TELL me
something I don't know
something I don't know
something I don't know
How many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
