Somebody Like Me
Erica Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now tell me do I wish too much?
Is it cause I kick it and I drink too much?
But the truth is I wanna live too much.
And you're the type of boy I'd like to give too much, till it's enough.
Please tell me I'm close to your type
Not cute but I know what's right
Not sweet but I know what's nice
And I could make you laugh and smile all night
Might mess up and say the wrong lines
And I tend to say things at all the wrong times
But I'm confident that we're so right
Even with these flaws I'm not the wrong girl
Off bat, I could say I'm not book smart
But I'm smart enough to protect your heart
Dump your past it belongs in the junkyard
Let's hook up all we need is a jumpstart

I wish I was somebody special, special in your eyes, in your eyes
And yeah
I wish I was somebody special, special in your eyes, in your eyes

Tell me do I think too much?
Is it what I'm feeling makes you trip too much?
If we choose to pass, might miss too much.
You know I'm into you cause I hint too much, is it enough?
Please tell me that I cross your mind
Ever think about crossing that line?
Can I prove that I'm worth the risk
So I could prove that I'm worth your time
Not buff but I know my loves strong
Not rich but I'll write you a love song
What you're getting is a part of me
And that right there is the heart from me, yeah.

I don't really know how to say this but...
You're the only song in my playlist, love.

Get a little closer when we hug
But what I'm feeling might be too much...

I wish I was somebody special, special in your eyes, in your eyes




And yeah
I wish I was somebody special, special in your eyes, in your eyes
