Everybody tells me
That it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break in
There's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me
That it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in
The dreams that I'm dreaming

I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Like how many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know

Tell me
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me
Tell me something I don't know

Everybody tells me
I don't know what I'm doing
This life I'm pursuing
The odds I'll be losing
Everybody tells me
That it's one in a million
No, one in billion
Oh, one in a zillion

I hear it everyday
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind, oh

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Like how many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know

Selena hits the track
Like Katrina makin' waves
Like cold Medina, make 'em say, I'm ready
Are you ready for it?
Yeah, I'm ready for it
Really ready for it?
Yeah, I'm ready for it

I'm on my way
I know I'm gonna get there someday
It doesn't help when you say
It won't be easy

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Like how many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Like how many inches in a mile
What it takes to make you smile
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
Something I don't know
