What About Me? Lyrics - Roy Orbison

Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop 

He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day 

They never ever see him from the top 

He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground 

He gets to his feet and he says 

[CHORUS:] 

What about me, it isn't fair 

I've had enough now i want my share 

Can't you see i wanna live 

But you just take more than you give

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop 

She's been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams 

Her dreams walk in and out they never stop 

Well she's not too proud to cry out loud 

She runs to the street and she screams 

[CHORUS] 

So take a step back and see the little people 

They may be young but they're the ones 

That make the big people big 

So listen, as they whisper 

What about me 

Photos 

And now i'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home 

Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved 

And i'm feeling cold and alone 

I guess i'm lucky, i smile a lot 

But sometimes i wish for more than i've got 

[CHORUS]
