lyrics

It's a shame I was born with this big head,
Filled with foreboding and dread,
It's a shame.

And I won't blame you if you walk out on me,
Leave me to my self pity,
It's a shame.

I can't get the things I want,
Cause I'm too scared to reach out there and grab them,
What if I mess up?
Why do I care what people think?

I wanna be like Ric Flair,
I wanna be like the Nature Boy.
Stylin', profilin', limousine ridin',
Chop you on the chest and go 'Whooooooooo!'

It's a shame we can't change the things we are,
Like we part-exchange a car,
It's a shame.

If I could just strut around,
Wear a Rolex and some aviators,
Would I be the man or would I just look like a knob?

I wanna be like Ric Flair,
I wanna be like the Nature Boy.
Stylin', profilin', limousine ridin',
Chop you on the chest and go 'Whooooooooo!'
