lyrics

I wanna be Madonna, anyone who'd wanna, would wanna be like me
I wanna be Madonna, anyone who'd wanna, would wanna be like me

I'd wear underwear on the outside of my clothes
I'd let all my friends in free to my shows
Papparazzi would follow me everywhere that I go
You know, I wouldn't even care, hell I might even vogue

Somebody dance with me
Please, please dance with me
Why won't you ever dance with me

I want to be Madonna, anyone who'd want to, would want to be like me
I wanna be Madonna, anyone who'd wanna, would wanna be like me

I'd make the cover of People Magazine
I'd be the idol of a million screaming teens
Lots of good friends would wait in line to see us play
Maybe then I'd be someone you'd want to know

You never pay attention
You never ever listen
I bet you don't even know my name (It's Mark)

I wanna be Madonna, anyone who'd wanna, would wanna be like me
I wanna be Madonna, anyone who'd wanna,
Anyone who'd wanna
Anyone who'd wanna
would wanna be like me
