lyrics

I am just an ordinary guy
I’m tired and I’m barely getting by
Deep down I know I’m better than the rest
But the world would never let me by my best
That is until you came along
And won me over very strong
With promises of gold, not yes, we can
My wish upon a star came true
I wanna be like you
So I can say
“Don’t you know who I am?”

I am just a good, god-fearing guy
I normally don’t like when people lie
But I know you mean every word you say
Even as it changes day to day and day and day and day
And when I see you misbehave
I just think of the lives you’ll save
The deal I made will only hurt the damned
All the folks who laugh at sin
I’ll laugh when they can’t get in
And try to say
“Don’t you know who I am?”

Now they finally see and hear me
I am way too big to ignore
Now the powers that be all fear me
And count on me like never before

Before you barred the open door
They just kept coming, more and more
Till I was like a stranger in this land
Now they’re trying to take my history
You keep it real for me
So I can say
“Don’t you know who I am?”

To be honest, I’m a disappointed guy
I thought by now that I’d be riding high
Maybe you have too much on your plate
If you need a little time, then I can wait
But all the change I see right now
Doesn’t give me hope somehow
Tell me I still hold the winning hand
’Cause—you were my final bet
I’ll be lost if you forget
Look at me, don’t you know who I am?
Listen, please, don’t you know who I am?
I’m still here, don’t you know who I am?
