lyrics
When I was young
You never even gave me a second look
A second thought
A second chance to prove it
I always knew
I could have a life
Only You could dream
I just needed some time
To get through it
I may not be there yet
But some day you’ll regret you didn’t believe
Someday you will see
You underestimated me
I’m not the guy you thought I’d be
You owe me an apology
Some time’s gone by
And you probably think I’m still that quiet guy
You never knew that I could have ambition
That’s all right, ’cuz I’m about to get what I deserve
A little more love
And a lot more recognition
I may not be there yet
But some day you’ll regret you didn’t stay
You could’ve had your chance
But then you turned your back
And you walked away
[Chorus/Solo]
Some day you will know
When I get tired of lyin’ low
I will destroy the status quo
I’ll be the king of rock ’n’ roll
You’ll see my name on the marquee
I’m thanking the Academy
I’ll strike another victory pose
And talk some smack with Charlie Rose
Someday ...
