lyrics

Point me in the direction of some well-deserved attention
'Cause my inhibitions are gone tonight, self-esteem's too high to mention
I should be a star by now, can you tell what gives?
I want to talk to you about my opinions, tell me where you live

I walk with a purpose, make the bouncers nervous
Just said something sexist, but I'll blame it on the bourbon
You want to talk about my temper and you tell me it's not healthy
I want to know, how come if you're so smart
If you're so smart, how come you're not wealthy?

And my dear, I'm still here, the same boy you've always known
But if you've seen me after midnight I'm a little bit like Russell Crowe

This one's for the mothers and all the older brothers
I'm shaking hands with the fathers after getting off with their daughters
I'm getting off with their daughters and then shaking hands with the fathers
You can't be morally-bankrupt if you look a million-dollars

And my dear, I'm still here, the same boy you've always known
But if you've seen me after a VB I'm a little bit like Russell Crowe

I think I lost myself and I don't know where to go
So I checked my magic eight-ball, it said go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Russell Crowe
