[Intro]Sha la la la la la la[Primeira Parte]I was down at the New AmsterdamStaring at this yellow-haired girlMr. Jones strikes up a conversationRiff 1With a black-haired flamenco dancer[Refrão 1]Mr. Jones and meTell each other fairy talesAnd we stare at the beautiful women"She's looking at youAh, no, no, she's looking at me"Smiling in the bright lightsComing through in stereoWhen everybody loves youYou can never be lonely[Segunda Parte]Riff 1Well, I'm paint my picturePaint myself in blue and redBlack and grayAll of the beautiful colorsAre very, very meaningfulYeah, wellRiff 1You know gray is my favorite colorRiff 2I felt so symbolic yesterdayIf I knew PicassoI would buy myselfA gray guitar and play[Refrão 2]Mr. Jones and meLook into the futureYeah, we stare at the beautiful women"She's looking at youI don't think so. She's looking at me"Standing in the spotlightI bought myself a gray guitarWhen everybody loves meI'll never be lonely[Terceira Parte]I'll never be lonelySon, I'm never gonna be lonelyI wanna be a lionEverybody wants to pass as catsWe all wanna be big, big stars, yeah,But we've got different reasons for thatRiff 3Believe in me'Cause I don't believe in anythingAnd I, I wanna be someone to believeTo believe, to believe[Refrão 3]Mr. Jones and meStumbling through the barrioYeah we stare at the beautiful women"She's perfect for youMan, there's got to be somebody for me"I wanna be Bob DylanMr. Jones wishes he was someoneJust a little more funkyWhen everybody loves youOh, sonThat's just' bout as funky as you can be[Refrão 4]Mr. Jones and meStaring at the videoWhen I look at the televisionI wanna see me staring right back at meWe all wanna be big starsBut we don't know why and we don't know howBut when everybody loves meI'll be just' bout as happy as I could beMr. Jones and meWe're gonna be big stars
