Verse 1

Look around outside

Ain't nothin' to do but hang around

Thinkin' 'bout all the stupid things that I've done

I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown

Pre-chorus

And if I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing

And I don't even think about all the things my wish'd bring,

cause...

Chorus

I just wanna be James Dean

I just wanna be James Dean

I just wanna be James Dean

...For a day

I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me,

I'm such a jerk

And I just wanna be James Dean

...For a day

Verse 2

Think about stories of the actors and the movie stars

Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar

I think about Dean and all the things he shoulda tried

I think about Dean and all the ways he coulda die

Yeah, died...

Pre-chorus

And I wouldn't give a shit about anything cause I'd be such a big

movie star

But that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar

Chorus

I just wanna be James Dean

I just wanna be James Dean

I just wanna be James Dean

...For a day

See but I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me,

I'm such a wreck

And I just wanna be James Dean

...For a day

Verse 3

I'm goin' crazy cause I'm always all alone

I'm goin' crazy, no one calls me on the phone

I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care

If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there

Yeah, there'd be somebody there for me

Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say

And then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay...

No...

Chorus

I don't wanna be James Dean

I don't wanna be James Dean

I don't wanna be James Dean

...Anymore...
