If you try to be an icon Then the icon becomes you If you try to be a model It'll catwalk over you If you try to walk in straight shoes Then these shoes will bend you too If you try to be a kid again The kid will kidnap you You know it's true The guy you know, well that's just you And there is nothing you can do Just like a door you can't get through When there is no one left to fool Don't go and drown in that old pool Don't kid yourself So don't try to be an icon Con the I inside of you That picture you've been painting doesn't look a thing like you I'll agree that it's a nice try But when your paint is dry We're all just little icons Super you and super I You know it's true The guy you know, well that's just you And there is nothing you can do Just like a door you can't get through When there is no one left to fool Don't go and drown in that old pool Don't kid yourself So low ♪ I need someone to show me Just what I threw away I need a pretty angel to present it on a tray You never liked the icon Said "that guy looked pretty strange" But you never tried to change me and that's how I've come to change You know it's true The guy you know, well that's just you And there is nothing you can do Just like a door you can't get through When there is no one left to fool Don't go and drown in that old pool Don't kid yourself When there is no one left to fool Don't go and drown in that old pool Don't kid yourself
