[Intro]
To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer, a rock singer
Or a big film star
Yeah, I think that I would like, I would like that
To be rich and have a lot of fans
Have a lot of girls to prove that I'm a man
To be number one
Loved by everyone
[Verse 1]
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me, man, and I dig them
And the money that I spent
It is like my fame and it's quickly gone
[Pre-Chorus]
No more swimming in my guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine, it's only ground chalk
And no more taxis now we have to walk
[Chorus]
Didn't I have a nice time?
Didn't I have a nice time?
Didn't I have a nice time?
[Verse 2]
I realize I should've stuck to my guns
They spat me out just like a bastard son
And I lost myself
And I know that it was wrong, but it cost me a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no more drinking now the club shuts down
I'm out here on my arse with the rest of the clowns
I'm get scared without my bodyguard
When I'm sitting all alone in my expensive yard
[Chorus]
Didn't I have a nice time?
Didn't I have a nice time?
Didn't I have a nice time?
Did I have a nice time?
Did I have a nice time?
I can't remember if I had a nice time
Did I have a nice time?
[Outro]
