AS you who know me probably know, in my mind there are two Fred's- the ascot wearing, no-personality, I'm- the-boss,-you-do-as-I-say Fred of 'Where Are You' through 'Scooby Doo Show', (sorry, Cathy) and the loveable goof with a big heart, no ascot, no real leadership Fred of 'What's New'. This spoof of the song by Pink is from the 'Where Are You' Fred's mind as he's starting to change into the 'What's New' Fred.
DON'T LET ME GET ME
(sung to the tune of 'Don't Let Me Get Me' by Pink)
Always first place,
Trying to support the team,
But giving directions,
Always makes me cold and mean.
Girls wanted to date me,
Everyone else hates me.
I was the little boy in the fights,
Cause I couldn't do nothing right.
Every day I fight a war against the mirror,
I can't take the person staring back at me,
Cause I'm a hazard to myself.
Don't let me get me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's better not to lead at all.
It's just no fun,
Don't wanna be the leader no more,
I wanna be somebody else.
I wanna be somebody else.
My mentors told me,
'You'll be a leader of stars,
All you have to change,
Is everything you are.'
Tired of being called cold,
Hard-hearted, showing off for the girls,
No real personality,
But that just ain't me.
Shaggy, Shaggy, won't you please forgive me someday,
If I could only tell you this, when I send you to be the bait:
Don't let me get me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's better not to lead at all.
It's just no fun.
Don't wanna be the leader no more,
I wanna be somebody else.
Don't let me get me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's better not to lead at all.
It's just no fun.
Don't wanna be the leader no more,
I wanna be somebody else.
Shaggy, Shaggy I hope you can forgive me someday,
If only we really could change places,
If I could tell you this myself:
I'm a hazard to myself.
Don't let me get me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's better not to lead at all.
It's just no fun.
Don't wanna be the leader no more,
I wanna be somebody else.
Don't let me get me,
I'm my own worst enemy,
It's better not to lead at all.
It's just no fun.
Don't wanna be the leader no more,
I wanna be somebody else.
