At first I told myself, I need my head inspected
I noticed little things, same t shirt and sunglasses
Then it got weirder, see, she cut her hair like me
She bought a red guitar, kept driving round in my car

Kissing her and she, she slams me against the wall
She crashed into a bus, chasing some supermodel
She's analyzed my smile, she's memorised my phonebook
She always wears my clothes, her favourite words are 'f**k off'

She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you

Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me

Saying something's wrong, she's out back playing soccer
She used to do ballet, now she's a heavy smoker
She's so obsessed with me, now she stands up to pee
And now the stupid games have started taking over

Don't need no special help, no need to see a doctor
I know you're worried but, I'm telling you just watch her
It's like she's cracked my code, knows things I've never spoke of
She wants sex all the time, and still finds time to jerk off

She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you

Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me

I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me

I'm in the loony bin
Wearing a pale pink nightie
The nurse comes through the door
And whispers so politely
'Your boyfriend's here to see you
Look pretty, take a bath
I love his silly band
Can I get his autograph?'

She looks like, does like, sounds like me
She's stealing my identity
And I'm begging you

Somebody notice me, somebody notice
I'm fading away here
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be me

I'm not joking
She won't stop provoking me
I'm going under
What have I gotta do to make you see
My girlfriend is a wannabe
And she wants to be
She wants to be
She wants to be me
