[Verse 1]
I'm giving you the news
Your domination's through
You gave the best you've got
Now I'm out on top
If you're in any doubt
Listen to me
I've got a right to say
If you know what it's all about
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
[Verse 2]
Don't want to be your enemy
If I'm not the one you want me to be
And I've got to do things the way that I do
Always trying to control me
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
[Verse 3]
Our time on Earth is running through
(This is not a question of my pride)
Sometimes I think it's a game to you
(Ever wonder how I feel inside?)
And sometimes I play along
But man I've got a mind!
You've got to live with yourself
For the rest of you life
Do you understand?
Everybody asks themselves the question
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
[Outro]
Why do you feel ashamed
When you can't explain the things I say
To other people
It's just occurred to me
A possibility
The thought that you might really want to be me?
