Written last Spring out of frustration with this guy...
Kind of fast.
-----------------
You always seem to have the need,
To impress and always be the best.
Every day is just another test.
Am I funny, am I well-dressed?
Do people like me? Is it well agreed?
That I’m the best around,
And who would even think to compete?

You don’t seem to know,
That there is more out there.
Sure the world likes you,
But do they honestly care?

They don’t care like me.
They don’t care like her.
They don’t care like them,
Your true friends, the ones who are there.
If they don’t listen to you,
When you’re down or upset,
Then why waste your time with them?
Why waste your time with them?

You always seem to have to prove,
You fit the mold of the “cool kids”,
And they still like you and you’re wanted.
Unpopularity is the cardinal sin.
What doesn’t fit has to be removed.
She didn’t fit,
She broke the biggest rule.

Are these people that you call your friends,
The ones that you can tell your problems to?
Will they listen or just laugh at you?
Bros don’t cry cause they’re far too cool.
Jokes so funny that they can’t offend.
If you don’t like it,
You’re dumb and that’s just too bad.

You don’t seem to know,
That there is more out there.
Sure the world likes you,
But do they honestly care?

They don’t care like me.
They don’t care like her.
They don’t care like them,
Your true friends, the ones who are there.
If they don’t listen to you,
When you’re down or upset,
Then why waste your time with them?
Why waste your time with them?

You don’t need to be everything.
You don’t need to be everything.
You don’t need to be everything.
For me you would have to change nothing.

You don’t need to be everything.
You don’t need to be everything.
You don’t need to be everything.
For me you would have to change nothing.

This isn't bad, but how long do you want this track to be? It seemed like a lot of lyrics for just one song.

Am I funny, am I well-dressed?
Do people like me? Is it well agreed?

This is one of those lines that probably make sense only when you sing it. That is to say, it doesn't make sense grammatically.

Do people like me?

How is that even a question?

You fit the mold of the “cool kids”,

This is really cliché and detracts from the track immensely. It takes an original and attractive piece and in one line makes it an anti social-elitism rant, that really won't win over audiences. I think you should maintain the original voice you have up until this point.

Anyway I wish I had more but I always struggle with lyrics.

Hi! I really like this. I wish every try-to-be-cool-guy would read this and learn a lesson from it. The title's quite catchy and

Am I funny, am I well-dressed?
Do people like me? Is it well agreed?
That I’m the best around,
And who would even think to compete?

This line's really funny. I know a lot of people who think that way. So what I liked most about this song is that it relates to reality (A LOT). =P
Also, I think the last line is very sweet,
For me you would have to change nothing.

Keep writing and goodluck with future posts.
