Open up your eyes, take a look at me Get the picture fixed in your memory I'm driven by the rythm like the beat of a heart And I won't stop until I start To stand out To stand out Some people settle for the typical thing Livin' all their lives waiting in the wings It ain't a question of "if", just a matter of time Before I move to the front of the line Once you're watching every move that I make You gotta believe that I got what it takes To stand out, above the crowd Even if I gotta shout out loud 'Til mine is the only face you'll see Gonna stand out 'Til ya notice me If the sqeeky wheel's always gettin' the grease I'm totally devoted to disturbing the peace And I'll do it all again, when I get done Until I become your number one No method to the madness, and no means of escape Gonna break every rule or bend them all outta shape It ain't a question of "how", just a matter of when You get the message that I'm tryin' to send I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head And you know I'm going all the way to the end To stand out, above the crowd Even if I gotta shout out loud 'Til mine is the only face you see Gonna stand out 'Til ya notice me If I could make you stop and take a look at me Instead of just, walkin' on There's nothin that I wouldn't do if it was gettin' you to notice I'm alive All I need is half a chance A second thought, a second glance To prove I got whatever it takes It's a piece of cake To stand out above the crowd Even if I gotta shout out loud 'Til mine is the only face you'll see Gonna stand out, staaaand out Stand out! Stand out! 'Til mine is the only face you'll see Gonna stand out 'Til ya notice me
