what about me

Shannon Noll

Well there’s a little boy waiting

at the counter of a corner shop

He’s been waiting down there,

waiting half the day

They never ever see him from the top

He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground

He gets to his feet and he says

What about me, it isn’t fair

I’ve had enough now i want my share

Can’t you see i wanna live

You just take more than you give

Well there’s a pretty girl

serving at the counter of the corner shop

She’s been waiting back there,

waiting for her dreams

Her dreams walk in and out they never stop

Well she’s not too proud to cry out loud

She runs to the street and she screams

What about me, it isn’t fair

I’ve had enough now i want my share

Can’t you see i wanna live

You just take more than you give

So take a step back and see the little people

They may be young but they’re the ones

That make the big people big

So listen, as they whisper

What about me

And now i’m standing on the corner

all the world’s gone home

Nobody’s changed, nobody’s been saved

And i’m feeling cold and alone

I guess i’m lucky, i smile a lot

but sometimes i wish for more than i’ve got

What about me, it isn’t fair

I’ve had enough now i want my share

Can’t you see i wanna live

You just take more than you give

What about me, it isn’t fair

I’ve had enough now i want my share

Can’t you see i wanna live

you just take more

you just take more

you just take more

What about me

What about me
