Randy Newman — I Want Everyone to Like Me

I want everyone to like me I want everyone to like me real bad I want everyone to approve of me Because when they disapprove of me, it makes me feel so sad I wanna earn the respect of my peers If it takes a hundred years I'd like to find out where they are by the way I would run to embrace them I'm only kiddin I'm really very modest once you get to know me A house and a little land Little someone to lend a hand Little money set aside God, then I would be satisfied Want someone to tell me, one time: "Honey you don't look well Why doncha lie down for a couple years. I'll look after things." A grown up woman would be nice I'd like to flip over once or twice Find out what makes her tick Some friends to call my own, God knows A family and a home A couple kiddies at my side Keep me fat, and satisfied I want everyone to like me That's one thing I know for sure I want everyone to like me 'Cause I'm a little insecure
