Tell me something, tell me, tell me

Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break in, there's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in the dreams that I'm dreaming

I hear it everyday, I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get you not to treat me like a child, baby

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me something I don't know
Tell me, tell me something I don't know

Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing the odds I'll be losing
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million
One in billion, one in a zillion

I hear it everyday, I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get you not to treat me like a child, baby

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

She hit the track like a surfer making waves
Like cold Medina make 'em say, I'm ready
Are you ready for it? Yes, I'm ready for it
Really ready for it? Yes, I'm ready for it
Let's get ready for it

I'm on my way I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say it won't be easy

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know

How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get you not to treat me like a child, baby

Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know
Something I don't know, something I don't know
