Who Do You Think You Are
Kim Wilde Lyrics

A long time ago, you promised yourself
At some point in the past, you made a commitment to yourself

They're all gonna know me someday
You vowed to become famous or well-known

Well, you got what you wanted but look at you now
You achieved your goal, but the result is not what you desired

You lost something good on the way
In the process of gaining fame or success, something valuable was sacrificed or neglected

So where did it go? Tell me, where did it go?
You wonder where that lost value or quality disappeared to

But you wouldn't know
However, you are unable to see or acknowledge it

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You are used to having people jump to your beck and call instantly with the snap of your fingers

You don't care how they feel just as long as they come
You are not concerned about other people's feelings or well-being, as long as they come when called

Got your head in the stars, now you've come this far
You have achieved a high level of success, but you have also become arrogant and disconnected from reality

Just who do you think you are?
Someone challenges your sense of self-importance or self-awareness

Now everything seems to be going your way
Currently, everything in your life is going according to your plan or wishes

And everyone loves what they see
Other people are impressed or enamored with your achievements or persona

But you ruin it all with the things that you say
However, you ruin or undermine that impression with your words or behavior

So tell me, how does it feel?
Someone challenges you to imagine what it would feel like to experience negative consequences

When you're all alone, how does it feel?
They make you ponder how you would feel if you were alone, without your fame or success

You're alone, nothing is real
They imply that your sense of reality or connection to others is distorted, and that you are truly alone

You believe a ridiculous lie
You have convinced yourself of an absurd or untrue idea

You can't see you've become all the things you despise
You have become what you once judged or loathed, without realizing it

But I know who you are and you've gone too far
Someone claims to know your true identity or character, and that you have crossed a line

You can keep all your dreams
They acknowledge that you can maintain your aspirations or goals

But you don't have to lose yourself
They suggest that you can achieve success or fame without sacrificing your values or identity

'Cause one day, you're gonna break
They predict that someday, the strain or consequences of your actions will catch up to you

When the face in the mirror looking back at you is a stranger that you can't place, oh, oh
They describe how you will feel when you no longer recognize or identify with the person you have become

Just who do you think you are?
Someone reiterates their challenge to your sense of self or self-awareness
