[Verse 1] Goddamn you half-Japanese girls Do it to me every time Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello And I'm jello, baby But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me I'm the epitome of public enemy Why you wanna go and do me like that? Come down on the street and dance with me [Chorus] I'm a lot like you, so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting I think I'd be good for you And you'd be good for me [Verse 2] I asked you to go to the Green Day concert You said you never heard of them (How cool is that?) How cool is that? So I went to your room And read your diary "Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table" And then my heart stopped, "Listening to Cio-Cio San Fall in love all over again" (Ow) [Chorus] I'm a lot like you, so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting (Oh, what could it be now?) I think I'd be good for you And you'd be good for me [Bridge: Rivers Cuomo & Brian Bell] How stupid is it? I can't talk about it I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart How stupid is it? Won't you gimme a minute? Just come up to me and say hello to my heart How stupid is it? For all I know you want me too And maybe you just don't know what to do Or maybe you're scared to say "I'm falling for you" [Verse 3] I wish I could get my head out of the sand 'Cause I think we'd make a good team And you would keep my fingernails clean But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize 'Cause I can't even look in your eyes Without shaking and I ain't faking I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon [Chorus] I'm a lot like you, so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting (Waiting, oh) I think I'd be good for you And you'd be good for me (Oh-hoo) [Outro: (Matt Sharp) & Rivers Cuomo] (I'm a lot like you) I'm a lot like you (I'm a lot like you) I'm waiting, oh I think I'd be good for you And you'd be good for me, woo
