Who Do You Think You Are
S-Club & S Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

We've been living a lie
We're not what we seem to be
And we've had enough of being fooled
Now we want to be free

Sure we be living a dream (somebody else's)
And now we want to live on
But we gotta leave this game behind
And know who we really are

Don't let anyone take over your life (no no no)
Don't give up your dreams and you'll be alright (no no)
They think they can control you but they should've told you
When you're a clone, you know you're never alone

Who
Who do you think you are
Do you know for sure
Now tell me
Who
Who do you think you are
Do you know for sure
Now tell me

Who do you think you are
Who do you think you are

We're ready for change
And we just want to come out
And it's up to you and me now boy
Why are we waiting around

Feels like we're caught in a trance (somebody else's)
Maybe it's all in the mind
But we've gotta find a way to leave all of this trouble behind

Don't let anyone take over your life (no no no)
Don't give up your dreams and you'll be alright (no no)
They think they can control you but they should've told you
When you're a clone, you know you're never alone

Who
Who do you think you are
Do you know for sure
Now tell me
Who
Who do you think you are
Do you know for sure
Now tell me

Just gotta get
Just gotta get back
Just gotta get
Just gotta get back on track

Just gotta get
Just gotta get back
Just gotta get
Just gotta get back on track

Who
Who do you think you are
Do you know for sure
Now tell me




Who
Who do you think you are-a
