[Verse 1]

I can't quite explain

This hole in my brain that's come around again

The West Hampstead Reds

Send me to bed and head off out again

Some things have to change

Some things are to blame for almost everything

Some boys grow in shame

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't play that game

[Chorus]

'Cause I want you to believe

You're just like me

I want you to believe

You're just like me

I want you to be free

To be happy

I want you to believe (I want you, I want you to)

You're just like me (I want you to)

[Verse 2]

Just another California tongue

Prove me wrong, but I think they all sound the same

It doesn't matter where you're from

Talking that way, now

Listen to the elevator hum

The mechanism is breaking down again

Don't you tell my mum

[Pre-Chorus]

No, don't play that game

[Chorus]

'Cause I want you to believe

You're just like me

I want you to believe

You're just like me

I want you to be free

To be happy

I want you to believe

You're just like me

[Bridge]

(I want you to, I want you)

(Want you to, I want you)

(I want you to, I want you)

(I want you to)

[Chorus]

'Cause I want you to believe (I want you to)

You're just like me (I want you to, I want you)

I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you)

You're just like me

I want you to be free (I want you to, I want you to)

To be happy (I want you to, I want)

I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you to)

You're just like me
