Have You Seen Me? Lyrics


Have you seen me? I just might be your little baby
Have you seen me? I'm lookin' at you with grown up eyes
Every milk carton and highway billboard sign says maybe
Have you seen me or have you only seen my disguise?I had a fight with mama and she said she couldn't stand me
I had a fight with papa and he really likes to swing his fist
I'm sick and tired of all those stupid rules they hand me
They try to make me feel I have no right to existHave you seen me? Well, I've seen you
I've seen what the grown ups do
I've seen I can do that too, have you seen me?Well, I'm older now than I was the day I vanished
You might not even know me if you saw me passin' by
Others take your place in the dark world of the banished
On vicious streets where no one hears me cryWell, you can't run, you can't hide
Turn your face, walk inside
Can't close your doors, because I'm yours
Have you seen me?Well, I'm fighting in Nicaragua, I'm fighting in Afghanistan
In Israel I wear a gun, in Palestine a rock is in my hand
In Africa you see me starve, in America they just throw me away
But I'm making history that other kids will read about some dayHave you seen me? Well, I've seen you

I've seen what the grown ups do
I've seen I can do that too
Have you seen me? Have you seen me?
Have you seen me? Have you seen me?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don McLean (born October 2, 1945 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer-songwriter, most famous for his 1971 song "American Pie," about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The song spawned the phrase "The Day the Music Died," referring to the day of the crash.

Early in his career, McLean was mentored by the folk legend Pete Seeger, and accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater boat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest at environmental pollution in the river. The Clearwater campaign was widely credited for improving water quality in the Hudson River.

In 1980, McLean had an international number one hit with the Roy Orbison classic, "Crying." Only following the record's success overseas was it released in the U.S., becoming a top-ten hit in 1981. Orbison himself once described McLean as "the voice of the century," and a subsequent re-recording of the song saw Orbison incorporate elements of McLean's version.

In 1991, McLean returned to the U.K. top ten with a re-issue of "American Pie," which nine years later became a worldwide smash all over again thanks to Madonna's controversial cover.
