[Verse 1]
I just wanna be cool
Wanna hang around drinking tequila by the swimming pool
Kissing boys, acting a fool
Then roll out with the girls in the car down to Malibu
Man, I just wanna be cool
Wanna fit in with your friends at the party
When they're acting rude
Standin' 'round, lookin' real blue
Skippin' class, kickin' ass
Bad grades when I get to school

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah, you're a mystery and I just can't get enough
Yes, it's plain to see I'm addicted to your drug
I love everything you do
Tell me, do you like me too? Ah-ah-ah
Try to hide the lie, now I get to tell the truth
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

[Verse 2]
I just wanna be touched
Wanna listen to your band while you screw down me really rough
Stay up late, hide from the sun
You're a magazine teen dream, I just wanna get some
Man, I just wanna be touched
Wanna look as good as you
When I'm trippin' out and feelin' drunk
Breaking hearts, falling through love
O-M-G, look at me, thirsty, won't you fill me up?

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah, you're a mystery and I just can't get enough
Yes, it's plain to see I'm addicted to your drug
I love everything you do
Tell me, do you like me too? Ah-ah-ah
Try to hide the lie, now I get to tell the truth
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

[Bridge]
Watching from the sidelines
Holding your hand, looking forward
When you stand you're so gold
And everyone knows that I'm feeling so rejected
You'll always be so much better than me
You're ice cold, you're out of control, it's true
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you

[Verse 3]
Man, I just wanna be cool
Wanna dress up like a girl, be a plastic, see-through
Denim jeans, matchin' tattoos
Can you please hit me up? Can I be part of your crew?
Man, I just wanna be cool
All my old friends so lame, rather be sat with you
Try my best to impress, always seem to fall through
What the fuck? Out of luck, I'm not what you're into

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah, you're a mystery and I just can't get enough
Yes, it's plain to see I'm addicted to your drug
I love everything you do
Tell me, do you like me too? Ah-ah-ah
Try to hide the lie, now I get to tell the truth
I wanna be like you, I wanna be like you
I wanna be like you
