Open up your eyes take a look at me
if the picture fits in your memory
i've been dreamin by the rythym like the beat of a heart
and i won't stop until i start to stand out
Some people settle for the typical thing
livin' all their lives waitin' in the wings
it ain't a question of 'if', just a matter of time
before i move to the front of the line
And once you're watchin' ev'ry move that i make
ya gotta believe that i got what it takes
(chorus)
to stand out
above the crowd
even if i gotta shout out loud
'til mine is the only face you see
gonna stand out 'til you notice me
If the squeaky wheels always gettin the greese
i'm totally devoted to disturbin the peace
and i'll do it all again, when i get it done
until i become your number one
No method to the madness and means of escape
gonna break every rule i'll bend them all out of shape
it ain't a question of 'how' just a matter of when
you get the message that i'm tryin to send
I'm under a spell, i'm in over my head
and you kno i'm going all of the way, till the end
To stand out
above the crowd
even if i gotta shout out loud
'til mine is the only face you see
gonna stand out 'til you notice me, yeah

if i could make you stop and take a look at me instead of just
walkin' by
there's nothin' that i wouldn't do
if it was gettin' you to notice
i'm alive
All i need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance'll prove
i got whatever it takes
it's a piece of cake
To stand out
above the crowd
even if i gotta shout out loud
'til mine is the only face you see
gonna stand out
stand out, hey
stand out!
(yeah, yeah, yeah!)
stand out!
(hmph!)
'til mine's the only face you see
gonna stand out
'til you notice me
