Who am I?

I'm a needy thing

can't be alone

I'm a desperate creature

searching for a home

I'm a painted clown

who lives to entertain

I'm a strutting peacock

loud and vain

[Chorus]

Who am i when I'm all alone (x3)
Who am I?

I'm a child
Who's getting older
A crier
Who needs a shoulder
A poet
Who can't find the right words to say
Doesn't matter anyway

I fight

for the excitement

I cry

just to feel it

I sing

so they will watch me

I flirt

so you will want me

[CHORUS]

Do I exist when no one's looking?

Who am I? Who am I?

Or when I'm lying in the dark?

Who am I? Who am I?

And if I were to scream at the top of my lungs

on the busy, crowded street

in the middle of the day

would they all look away

or would someone finally see

right through me

and tell me just who i am?

[Chorus]
