Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ey-ey-ey
Ey-ey, oh-oh, ey-ey
Ey-ey-ey
And people say “stay the way you are”
But no, sorry, maybe that’s not enough for me
Maybe I think the way I am isn’t all that great
Maybe I’d actually like to be a bit more like you

Without sweaty palms, going up to someone
Being part of a discussion without rubbing people the wrong way
Speaking in full sentences, not always saying the wrong thing
Taking a stand, having an opinion

They say “this will pass” – but what if it doesn’t?
What if everything stays the way it is?
If nothing ever changes except the pages on my calendar


I’d like to be less like me (ey-ey)
A little more like you (oh-oh)
I’d like to be less like me (ey-ey)
A little more like you (oh-oh)
I’d like to be less like me

Say something and not just talk
Like me!
Sometimes be for something, not always against
Like me!
Be more normal, less weird
Like me!
Like me!

You’re good the way you are, stay true to yourself
Or I’ll just tear everything down and rebuild this from scratch
I want to be someone
I want to go somewhere
Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the person I am

If not everyone laughs at my joke, is that okay?
Still, it would be nice if someone other than me understood it
But no, I’m sitting alone where the light doesn’t shine
I’m just tired of being me

They say “this will pass” – but what if it doesn’t?
What if everything stays the way it is?
If nothing ever changes except the weather outside my window


I’d like to be less like me (ey-ey)
A little more like you (oh-oh)
I’d like to be less like me (ey-ey)
A little more like you (oh-oh)
I’d like to be less like me

Say something and not just talk
Like me!
Sometimes be for something, not always against
Like me!
Be more normal, less weird
Like me!
Like me, like me

Maybe you’d like to be like me, too
Like me!
I think that’s relatively easy
Like me!
Just always do the same thing
Like me!
Like me, like me

And I can hardly move
Everything stands still
You, on the other hand, live exactly the life I want to live
Your friends, your wife, your job
I’d like to be more like you

I’d like to be less like me
A little more like you
I’d like to be less like me
A little more like you
I’d like to be less like me

Say something and not just talk
Like me!
Sometimes be for something, not always against
Like me!
Be more normal, less weird
Like me!
Like me, like me (ey-ey-ey-ey)

Maybe you’d like to be like me, too
Like me!
I think that’s relatively easy
Like me!
Just always do the same thing
Like me!
I’d like to be more like you

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
