Someone You Should Know

Lisa Loeb

Who do you think you are?

You're talking so loud

You bury the sound

Of your heart that's singing out



And where do you want to be?

On top of the world

But you're just a girl

Who forgot what it's like to dream



Leave everything behind

But you're so tired

One day you might open up your eyes and find



[Chorus]

What you've got isn't what you wanted

What you need just happens to be

What you've got isn't what you wanted

What you need just happens to be

Someone you should know



You try to hide between the lines

Of a story never told

But I've seen you run away

You're afraid of the fall

The weight of it all is too much



But you might change your mind

If you'd stand up one day

You might open up your eyes and find



[Chorus]



La da da da... [x5]



How do you keep it up?

It's all just a front

A dangerous stunt

You're gonna come down soon enough



Open up your eyes

Don't be scared

You might find you had it all the time



What you've got is what you wanted

What you need just happens to be

What you tried so hard to hide

It was there between the lines

Of the story never told

Of someone you should know



What you've got is what you wanted

What you need just happens to be

Someone you should know

What you've got is what you wanted

What you need just happens to be

Someone you should know
