It was my juinor year of high school and these two friends and I


Got these beat up guitars and huge amplifiers


We jamed in a little basement, our own biggest fans


Formed a funk-metal trio called the Love Belly Band


We practiced three whole times before we got our big chance


We were hired to play for our homecoming dance


And it just so happened that there on that day


Was the friend of a brother of a guy who works for RCA


Well all right, I'm droping out of school and signing a record deal





Tell me how good I am


Tell me that I'm the man





My debut record has just hit the streets


It's in all the music stores on MTV


Millions of fans are flocking the halls


My parents will finaly return my phone calls


I gotta brand new tour bus, roadies and that


Now when I'm on stage guitars are placed in my hands


I'm the king of the world, I'm the top of the heap


'Cause my record's been chosen as pick of the week


With a write up in Rolling Stone I'll be bigger than the king himself





Tell me how good I am


Tell me that I'm the man


Bring me my limo I can't be seen in a cab


I said pick out the brown ones now how hard is that


I want wine, I want women, I want them know understand


Everybody drop what your doing and tell me how good I am


I'm a rock and roll star





I was handed that revue a day in advance, I was so excited I almost wet my pants


But the part was over, the message was clear, this critic has just crowned me the joke of the year


Well it didn't take long before the fans all stayed home


Lost my big record deal, mom unplugged the phone


The groupies all left and the money dried up


I broke both my legs in my fall from the top


Oh well, we can always do one of those reunion tours





Tell me how good I am


Tell me that I'm the man


Shower me with praises do the jobs I can't stand


Tell me...


Tell me how good I am


Tell me that I'm the man


Shower me with praises do the jobs I can't stand


Somebody tell me how very good I am
