Jonathan Young - I'm Just Ken

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1989171
Verse 1: McGwire
Doesn't seem to matter what I do
I'm always number two
No one knows how hard I tried, oh-oh, I
I've got feelings that I can't explain
Drivin' me insane
All my life, been so polite
But I'll sleep alone tonight

Chorus: McGwire
'Cause I'm just Ken, anywhere else, I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?
I'm just Ken, where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?

Refrain: McGwire
Oh, poor me

Verse 2: Jonathan Young
I wanna know what it's like to love, to be the real thing
Is it a crimе? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings?
And is my moment finally herе, or am I dreaming?
I'm no dreamer

Bridge: Jonathan Young & McGwire
Can you feel the Kenergy?
Feel so real, my Kenergy
Can you feel the Kenergy?
Feel so real, my Kenergy

Chorus: Jonathan Young & McGwire
I'm just Ken, anywhere else, I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?
I'm just Ken, where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?

Outro: Jonathan Young & McGwire
I'm just Ken, and I'm enough
And I'm great at doing stuff
So, hey, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
My name's Ken, and so am I
Put that manly hand in mine
So, hey, world, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
Baby, I'm just Ken
