Look around outside
Ain't nothing to do but hang around
Think about all the stupid things that I've done
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clownIf I had a wish, I swear I'd wish
I'd wish for just one thing
And I don't even like to think about
All the things my wish'd bring'Cause I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a dayI wanna be oversexed and underworked
And look at me I'm such a jerk
And I just wanna be James Dean
For a dayThink about stories of the actors and the movies stars
Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar
I think about Dean and all the things he should've tried
I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died, yeah diedAnd I wouldn't give a shit about anything
'Cause I'd be such a big movie star
And that don't really do me much good
Just cryin' at the barBut I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
I just wanna be James Dean
For a daySee but I'm overworked and undersexed
And look at me, I'm such a wreck
And I just wanna be James Dean
For a dayGoing crazy 'cause I'm always all alone
Going 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 meYeah, I think about all the really cool things
I could do and say
Then you go and tell me
That you found out Dean is gayNo, I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
I don't wanna be James Dean
Anymore
