  • Never wanted to be no pop singer,
    Never wanted to write no pop songs.
    Never had no weird hair to get my songs over.
    Never wanted to hang out after the show.
    Pop singer writing of pop songs.

    Never wanted to have my picture taken.
    Now, who would want to look into these eyes?
    Just want to make it real - good, bad or indifferent.
    That's the way that I live and that's the way that I'll die
    As a pop singer of pop songs.

    Pop singer, writing of pop song.

    Never wanted to be no pop singer,
    Never want to write no pop songs.
    Never wanted to have a manager over for dinner.
    Never wanted to hang out after the show.

    Pop singer, writing pop songs.
    Never wanted to be no pop singer, of pop songs.
    A pop singer.
    Never wanted to write no pop songs. Writer/s: JOHN MELLENCAMP
