| She's got a photograph of david bowie | |
| In a victorian hand made frame | |
| Signed backstage by a roadie in his name | |
| She's got hemingway in her bedside table | |
| And a pistol under a pillow beside her head | |
| The bullets round her neck | |
| She wants to wear suits | |
| A cocktail waitress smokes gauloises blondes | |
| She's been taking tips from tables for too long | |
| She drinks frozen stolichnaya | |
| She likes powders from peru | |
| She don't like no one to tell her what to do | |
| Chorus | |
| She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, somebody special | |
| She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, somebody special | |
| She wants to wear suits | |
| She's got a nasty reputation as a cruel dude | |
| She likes japanese movies, she likes chinese food | |
| She's got handmade patent leather shoes riding on her feet | |
| She knows the lifestyle that she wants and she's willing to compete | |
| Chorus | |
| She put her mind to the classroom but outside | |
| She learned more from giving head | |
| She gave her innocence to someone that she once considered a close friend | |
| She gave her hand to the quarterback on loan to the local football team | |
| He gave his world as security, his heart as deposit on the dream | |
| But, she wants to wear suits | |
| Chorus | |
| She's got a wedding ring | |
| That's cartier as far as you can tell | |
| She threw it down the local wishing well | |
| She'd lost it in the kitchen sink | |
| Or in a desert motel room | |
| The insurance claim just couldn't come too soon | |
| She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, somebody special | |
| She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, somebody special | |
| She's somebody special | |
| Do you want to be somebody special | |
| Could you be somebody special | |
| Somebody special | |
