Everyone seems so certain
Everyone knows who they are
Everyone's got a mother and a father
They all seem so sure they're going far
They all got more friends than they can use

Except me 'cause I'm a fool
I'm as simple as a bee
As a melody in C
But it don't matter
There are more wishes than stars

Every guest
So pleased with themselves
They're brimming with success
Their whole life's been blessed
But it doesn't matter

Everyone's been on a holiday in the sun
Or they just got back from one
All they do is just have fun
They all got more friends than they can use

Except me 'cause I'm a fool
I'm as simple as a bee
As a melody in C
But it don't matter
There are more wishes than stars

I'm not too certain about many things
I'm not too sure who I am
I ain't got no mother and I ain't got no father
I ain't got no girlfriend to hold my hand

I'm slow like the trees when they grow
I'm sluggish like the ocean when it moves
I'm plain like water or like rain
But I shouldn't complain 'cause it don't matter

There are more wishes than stars
More wishes than stars
