Now I'm the Queen of Sadness, it's not who I wanna be
Nothing I do and nothing I say leads to a happier me.
I  wanna smile again, my friend, not feelin' so damn down
Wanna be like all those other girls, pretty and struttin' around.

You know it's true-oo-oo, I try to smile like you-oo-oo
I want to be like you, laugh like you do-oo-oo.
Now don't you see, this just ain't me-ee-ee
Help me be happier ple-ee-ease.

If you take me away from this pain I can't escape
Nothing they do and nothing they say will ever make me break.
I wanna feel joy, my friend, will you help me find my way?
Wanna be like all those other girls, playing away their days.

You know it's true-oo-oo, I try to smile like you-oo-oo
I want to be like you, laugh like you do-oo-oo.
Now don't you see, this just ain't me-ee-ee
Help me be happier ple-ee-ease.

To smile again,
To laugh again,
To love again, to love.
To smile again,
To laugh again,
To love again, to love.

Now the times have changed and nothing's botherin' me
Nothing you do and nothing you say will take my smile from me.
I'm smilin' again, my friend, not feelin' so damn down
I'm struttin' with those other girls, not in ol' struggle town

You know it's true-oo-oo, Ican smile like you-oo-oo
I talk like you, laugh like you do-oo-oo.
Like what you see? The cheerier me?
And I am not ever gonna le-ee-eave.
Strange story behind this.

It's actually set to the music of "I Wanna Be Like You" from The Jungle Book. Yes, really. You did read that right... Now, go back and read it to the tune of the song, and laugh at me. XD

Someone I know managed to work that song into a song he wrote and it worked... It really did. [link]

I was talking to a friend after showing him, and he told me I couldn't do that. He was right. I'm not nearly clever or talented enough. So he set me a challenge.. To write my own lyrics to it instead. Within an hour I had them. And he was impressed.

By no means is this a serious song, though it is semi-autobigraphical. I just thought I'd share. :P

I'll update you all when I get it up on youtube so you can laugh more. :rofl:

It's so beautiful! I don't know much about song-writing, but I could hear the rhythm in my mind as I read this! The flow was perfect and the words had a poetic feel to them that couldn't have come only from the rhyming.

There's really not much to critique here, honestly. ^^; So, please, just keep up the amazing work! Maybe I'll end up hearing this song on the radio one day!

Oh, man! I just read in your comments that it's set to the tune of I Wanna Be Like You and I went back to read it! Hilarious!! I love it even more now!
