Come On
Words and Music by Dean Laterra

I could listen to you talk all day, and tell me how good you are
Hear about your latest adventures, you're such a rising star
You were born for greatness, you don't even have to try
It makes me feel so jealous, it makes me wonder....

I'd gladly give you twenty dollars, if you would just tell me how it came to be that you're.......

the world's greatest cook, you wrote the greatest book, you bowled a fifteen hundred and you didn't even look
and how you get the straightest A's, you hang with Rachel Rey, you're on European Idol, but they air it in Taipei

Now come on, get real, don't tell me you think these things you say are real
They're all fine lies, and you know it, you're so insecure, when you speak you show it, come on.

verse 2
I try to write cool songs all the time, but I can't get the words to rhyme. I know this wouldn't be such a problem, if I was more like you
I hung that poster of you on my wall, sorry I missed your call
I guess I was busy doing nothing. I'll try to catch ya later.

I'd even give you thirty dollars, if you could just tell me how it came to be ........

You ran a 3 minute mile, you did it with a smile, you mastered Cantonese while you wrestled crocodiles
your mom's the queen of Northern France, you showed them how to dance, they wanted you to stay but you couldn't take the chance

Bridge
Everyone wants to feel special, hey that's Okay.
But maybe you'd get more attention, If you would, just cool it with the stories

a house made out of bronze, you hit like like Barry Bonds, you know a million people cause you're cooler than the Fonz,
You have a super high IQ, you never had the flu, you sort of know the president, he asks you what to do

Now come on, get real, don't tell me you think these things you say are real
There all fine lies, and you know it, you're so insecure, when you speak you show it

come on, slow down. You want to have friends but just look around,
It's a fine lie, and you know it, now come on
