歌詞

I wanna catch your eye tonight

So I put on my brightest smile

I joke around, I strike a pose

Trying every little style

But you look right through me

Like I’m not even there

Ouch, that icy little stare

Hits me everywhere

Oh no, what am I gonna do?

Someone else might steal you away

So I made a little secret list—

Everything you like, every day!

New lipstick, new dress

New hair, looking my best

Three, two, one—here I go!

Baby, watch me steal the show!

Hey! Look at me, look at me!

I’m shining like a brand-new dream

Got my hair, got my style

Been rehearsing this for a while

Hey! Notice me, notice me!

Why can’t you see the girl in me?

I changed it all just for you—

But nothing, nothing gets through!

Oh-oh, what am I doing wrong?

I’ve been dancing to somebody else’s song!

I checked your favorite colors

Your favorite songs and movies too

I even learned the kind of perfume

That you said you liked on girls like you

I walked in like a superstar

Confidence from head to toe

But you barely looked my way

And I thought, “Well… there I go!”

Then I stood before the mirror

And suddenly I saw

A girl I hardly recognized—

Was that really me at all?

I was chasing your ideal

Trying hard to fit the part

But underneath all that glitter

Was my very own heart!

Hey! Look at me, look at me!

Not the girl you thought I had to be

No more fake, no more disguise

I’m gonna let my true self shine

Hey! Notice me, notice me!

There’s a better way for you to see

I don’t wanna be your dream—

I wanna show you what I mean!

Oh-oh, now I finally know

I don’t have to change to make my feelings show!

Hey!

Drop the pose!

Lose the act!

Bring my real self back!

One step!

Two step!

Turn it around!

Feet on the floor

Heart beating loud!

No more “Who should I be?”

I’m just gonna be me!

Maybe you’ll like my silly laugh

Maybe you’ll love the way I dance

Maybe my crazy little habits

Will make you give me half a chance

I won’t become somebody new

Just to get closer to you

I’ll bring out every good thing

That’s been hiding inside me!

Hey! Look at me, look at me!

This is who I really wanna be!

No more tricks, no more disguise

Watch my real heart come alive!

Hey! Notice me, notice me!

Now I’m dancing wild and free!

I won’t become your perfect girl—

I’ll show you my own world!

Hey! Look at me, look at me!

Maybe now you’ll finally see

All the things I tried to hide

Were the best things deep inside!

Oh-oh, I’m ready now—

No more pretending, no more playing around!

If you wanna fall for me

Fall for the real me!

I’m gonna be me! Na-na-na

I’m gonna be me! Na-na-na

Wild and free!

No more trying to be somebody new—

I’ll let the real me shine for you!
