[Verse 1]
At first I told myself
I need my head inspected
I notice little things
Same T-shirt and sunglasses
Then it got weirder, see
She cut her hair like me
She bought a red guitar
Kept driving round in my car

[Verse 2]
I’m kissing her and she
She slams me against a wall
She crashed into a bus
Chasing some supermodel
She’s analysed my smile
She’s memorised my phonebook
She always wears my clothes
Her favourite words are, “fuck off”

[Pre Chorus]
She looks like, doеs like, sounds like me
Shе’s stealing my identity
And I’m begging you

[Chorus 1]
Somebody notice me
Somebody notice
I’m fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe?
And she wants to be me
[Verse 3]
I’m saying something’s wrong
She’s out back playing soccer
She used to do ballet
Now she’s a heavy smoker
She’s so obsessed with me
Now she stands up to pee
And now her stupid games
Have started taking over

[Verse 4]
Don’t need no special help
Don’t need to see a doctor
I know you’re worried but
I’m telling you just watch her
It’s like she’s cracked my code
Knows things I’ve never spoke of
She wants sex all the time
And still finds time to jerk off

[Pre Chorus]
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She’s stealing my identity
And I’m begging you

[Chorus 1]
Somebody notice me
Somebody notice
I’m fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe?
And she wants to be me
[Chorus 2]
I’m not joking
She won’t stop provoking me
I’m going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe?
And she wants to be me

[Bridge]
I’m in a looney bin
Wearing a pale pink nighty
The nurse comes through the door
And whispers so politely
“Your boyfriend’s here to see you”
“Look pretty, take a bath”
“I love his shitty band”
“Can I get his autograph?”

[Pre Chorus]
She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She’s stealing my identity
And I’m begging you

[Chorus 1]
Somebody notice me
Somebody notice
I’m fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe?
And she wants to be me
[Chorus 2/Outro]
I’m not joking
She won’t stop provoking me
I’m going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe?
And she wants to be
She wants to be
She wants to be me
