Doesn't seem to matter what I do

I’m always seen as number two

No one knows how hard I’ve tried

I've had feelings I can't hide

And more feelings I can't explain

Making me certifiably insane

All my life, I've always been polite

Always doing what was right

Cause I'm just Mel. Anywhere else I would be swell.

Is it my destiny to live a life of bald fragility?

I'm just Mel

Where I see love, she sees a friend

What will it take for her to see the man behind the shades and fight for me?

I wanna know what it's like to love.

That’s not a crime? Am I not hot when I'm feeling?

Is my moment finally here, or am I dreaming?

I'm no dreamer.

Can you feel the Mel I am?

Feels so real, my Mel I am

Can you feel the Mel I am?

Feels so real, the Mel I am

I'm just Mel. Anywhere else I would be swell.

Is it my destiny to live a life of bald fragility?

I'm just Mel

Where I see love, she sees a friend

What will it take for her to see that I’m much more than some bald guy?

What if I pretend to be a spy? Or to be shy? Or maybe prophesy? Would that attract her?

I'm just Mel (and I'm enough)

And I'm great at doing stuff

So, hey, check me out, yeah, I'm just Mel

My name's Mel (and so am I)

Put that manly hand in mine

So, hey, world, check me out, yeah, I'm just Mel

Baby, I'm just Mel (nobody else, nobody else)
