Lyrics
0:06Sha la la la la la la - uh uh
0:14I was down at the New Amsterdam
0:18Staring at this yellow-haired girl
0:20Mr Jones strikes up a conversation
0:24With this black-haired flamenco dancer
0:27You look
0:27She dances while her father plays guitar
0:32She's suddenly beautiful
0:34We all want something beautiful
0:38And I wish I was beautiful
0:40So come dance this silence down
0:43Through the morning
0:45Sha la la la la la la
0:55Cut up Maria
0:58Show me some of them Spanish dances
1:02Pass me a bottle Mr Jones
1:09Believe in me
1:12Help me believe in anything
1:14Cause I I want to be someone who believes
1:22Mr Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
1:28Stare at the beautiful women
1:31"She's looking at you
1:33Ah no no she's looking at me "
1:36Smiling in the bright lights
1:39Coming through in stereo
1:42When everybody loves you
1:46You can never be lonely
1:48Well I will paint my picture
1:52Paint myself in
1:54Blue and red and black and gray
1:56All of the beautiful colors
1:58Are very very meaningful
2:01Yeah well you know
2:02Gray is my favorite color
2:05I felt so symbolic yesterday
2:10If I knew Picasso
2:12I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
2:17Mr Jones and me look into the future
2:23Stare at the beautiful women
2:25"She's looking at you
2:27I don't think so She's looking at me "
2:30Standing in the spotlight
2:33I bought myself a gray guitar
2:36When everybody loves me
2:40I will never be lonely
2:45I will never be lonely
2:48So I will never be lonely
2:57I want to be a lion
3:01Everybody wants to pass as cats
3:04We all want to be big big stars
3:07But we got different
3:08Reasons for that
3:11Believe in me
3:13Because I don't believe in anything
3:16And I I want to be someone to believe
3:21To believe
3:22To believe
3:24Mr Jones and me stumbling
3:28Through the barrio
3:30Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
3:33"She's perfect for you
3:35Man there's got to be
3:36Somebody for me "
3:38I want to be Bob Dylan
3:40Mr Jones wishes
3:42He was someone just a little more
3:44Funky
3:44When everybody loves you son
3:48That's just about as
3:49Funky as you can be
3:51Mr Jones and me staring at the video
3:57When I look at the television
4:00I want to see me staring
4:03Right back at me
4:05We all want to be big stars
4:07But we don't know why
4:09And we don't know how
4:10But when everybody loves me
4:14I wanna be just
4:15About as happy as I can be
4:18Mr Jones and me
4:23We're gonna be big stars
Sha la la la la la la - uh uh I was down at the New Amsterdam Staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr Jones strikes up a conversation With this black-haired flamenco dancer You look She dances while her father plays guitar She's suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful And I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down Through the morning Sha la la la la la la Cut up Maria Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle Mr Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything Cause I I want to be someone who believes Mr Jones and me tell each other fairy tales Stare at the beautiful women "She's looking at you Ah no no she's looking at me " Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo When everybody loves you You can never be lonely Well I will paint my picture Paint myself in Blue and red and black and gray All of the beautiful colors Are very very meaningful Yeah well you know Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play Mr Jones and me look into the future Stare at the beautiful women "She's looking at you I don't think so She's looking at me " Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar When everybody loves me I will never be lonely I will never be lonely So I will never be lonely I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats We all want to be big big stars But we got different Reasons for that Believe in me Because I don't believe in anything And I I want to be someone to believe To believe To believe Mr Jones and me stumbling Through the barrio Yeah we stare at the beautiful women "She's perfect for you Man there's got to be Somebody for me " I want to be Bob Dylan Mr Jones wishes He was someone just a little more Funky When everybody loves you son That's just about as Funky as you can be Mr Jones and me staring at the video When I look at the television I want to see me staring Right back at me We all want to be big stars But we don't know why And we don't know how But when everybody loves me I wanna be just About as happy as I can be Mr Jones and me We're gonna be big stars
