The Rocket Summer - Japanese Exchange Student lyrics

I might as well be a Japanese exchange student 'Cause people wanna know me right when I show up But then the thrill wears off and then I'm alone Until Beyonce rolls through town and I think That I can call and score a ticket when I can't 'Cause I don't know her like you don't know me It's a lonely world when it's all that you see It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me This gets lonely I might as well be a Japanese exchange student 'Cause people wanna know me right when I show up But then the thrill wears off and then I'm alone Until Paul McCartney rolls through town And I think that I can get in on the guest list, when I can't 'Cause I don't know him like you don't know me It's a lonely thing when it's all that you see It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me This gets lonely Last year I got the cover, my phone wouldn't stop ringing and ringing They called in on my mother and that is saying something Well, maybe it's been quiet, my phone just picks up dust 'Cause it's all about who you know and not about if you really know anyone So, hey, be nice to the Japanese exchange students 'Cause people wanna know them right when they show up And they have found yourself in a similar place Where you found you looked around and just saw loads of empty space And you were thinking how You don't know them like they don't know you It's a lonely feeling after all that you do Got a good heart, got a good soul, what must I do to prove it anymore I got friends in high and low places and it's all the same to me I love the Japanese, I love the Japanese Those from Japan and overseas I love the Japanese, do you love the Japanese? Those from Japan and overseas Those from Japan and overseas like me
