[Verse 1]
I can't quite explain
This hole in my brain that's come around again
The West Hampstead Reds
Send me to bed and head off out again
Some things have to change
Some things are to blame for almost everything
Some boys grow in shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't play that game

[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe (I want you, I want you to)
You're just like me (I want you to)

[Verse 2]
Just another California tongue
Prove me wrong, but I think they all sound the same
It doesn't matter where you're from
Talking that way, now
Listen to the elevator hum
The mechanism is breaking down again
Don't you tell my mum
[Pre-Chorus]
No, don't play that game

[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to believe
You're just like me
I want you to be free
To be happy
I want you to believe
You're just like me

[Bridge]
(I want you to, I want you)
(Want you to, I want you)
(I want you to, I want you)
(I want you to)

[Chorus]
'Cause I want you to believe (I want you to)
You're just like me (I want you to, I want you)
I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you)
You're just like me
I want you to be free (I want you to, I want you to)
To be happy (I want you to, I want)
I want you to believe (I want you to, I want you to)
You're just like me
