You try to play it cool like you just dont care
But soon Ill be playing in your underwear
Im like a mage with a magic spell
Youll come like a dog when I ring yo bell
Ive got the money and Ive got the fame
Youve got the hots to ride on my plane
Youre giving me all that I desire
cos down with me, Im taking you higher
(yelling over riffage)
Im the baddest of the bad
Im the best that youve ever had
Im the tops
Im the thing
All the girls get up when I sing
Im the meanest in the place
Step up, Ill mess with yo face
I dont care where you are
Look up and follow the star
(falsetto)
Im gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be giving me your all
(Bohemian Rhapsody-style choir vocals)
After the havoc I am gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
Ive got the answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot
(80s-rock falsetto)
Oh baby
Ive been told that I am going crazy
Oh baby
But I cant be held down
Oh baby
Somehow Im keeping it steady
Oh baby
Im tearing up this town
(fast-paced rock)
Hey, this is what I like
Cut my heart with a martyrs spike
Hey, this is nothing new
Ive got more than enough for you
(bouncy pop)
I can take on anybody
I can do my thing
I dont wanna hurt nobody
But a bee has got to sting
Imma fix it if you mix it up
Talk smalk and I am gonna shut you up
(epic vocals)
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radio idea
(spoken)
Somebody said all the worlds a stage
And each of us is a player
Thats what Ive been trying to tell you
In act 1, I was struggling to survive
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive
Act 2, I hit the big time
And bodies be all up on my behind
And I cant help myself
cos I was born to shine
If you dont like it, you can shove it
But you dont like it, you love it
So Ill be up here in a rage
til they bring the curtain down on this stage
(Beach Boys-style overlapping vocals)
I am the greatest man that ever lived (x4)
(fact-paced pop becoming rock)
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give and give and give
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radio idea
I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give
Ohhhh!
