Lyrics

sha la la la la la la
ooh
uh huh

i was down at
the new amsterdam
starin' at this
yellow-haired girl
mr. jones strikes up
a conversation

with a black-haired
flamenco dancer
you know she dances
while his father plays
guitar
she's suddenly
beautiful

we all want
something beautiful
man i wish i was
beautiful

so come dance
the silence down
through the mornin'
sha la la la la la la la
yeah
uh huh yeah

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
wanna be someone
who believes
yeah

mr. jones and me
tell each other
fairy tales and we
stare at
the beautiful women

she's lookin' at you
ah no no
she's lookin' at me
smilin' in
the bright lights
comin' through
in stereo

when everybody
loves you
you can never
be lonely
well i'm gonna
paint my picture

paint myself in blue
red 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
yeah we stare at
the beautiful women

she's lookin' at you
uh i don't think so
she's lookin' at me
standin' in
the spotlight

i bought myself
a gray guitar
when everybody
loves me
i will never be lonely
i will never be lonely
said i'm never
gonna be lonely

i want to be a lion
eh
everybody wants to
pass as cats
we all want to be
big big stars yeah but
we got different
reasons for that

believe in me
'cause i don't
believe in anything
and i
i wanna be someone
to believe
to believe
to believe yeah

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 were someone
just a little more
funky
when everybody
loves you

ah 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'm gonna be
just about as happy
as i can be
mr. jones and me
we're gonna be
big stars
