Lake Street Dive - What About Me Lyrics






You might think you understand
What turns a boy into a man
You gotta search alone and worthy
But that'll make a lonely girl
that has the top and that rules the world
A king who choose his crown over his queen

Before he gets the notion he doesn't need you
Before the motion grows your plan proceeds to

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me

You meet his friends you meet his folks
You love his songs you love his jokes
You show him all the moves he's never seen
Then you take his will away
You never go a single day without asking him
With whom or where he's been

You do it all to show him what he's worth
The last things it's about is helping her

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me

I have lived a privileged life
But I have seen my share of strife
And nothing beats the boy that's leaving me
I might have pushed a little hard
I might have took it way too far
But you've got respect consistency

That's why the next time I won't wait to fall
You know me, I won't hesitate to

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me

Lake Street Dive What About Me Comments
  1. T.... 4....

    Can't women singers, comedians, etc. talk about something other than relationships/heartache and body image! We get it, these issues are what societies around the world foist on women, but if this is ever going to change WOMEN themselves need to be pro-active!

    T.... 4....

    If you do a bit of research, you'll find that men sing about relationships and heartache just as much as women. And where in this song does she sing about body image?

  2. D.... C....

    What a bass line! & such tight harmonies.

  3. J.... P....

    Brilliant band and great song

  4. C.... ....

    I really like them a lot! Their arrangements, harmonies and groove are magic. They are my music after BEATLES and FANNY !

  5. M.... B....

    dam is she beautiful!

  6. h.... r....

    Great music great band but it would be nice if they returned just one of the great complaments they've received from all their fans. ive never seen them say anything to anyone that's just plain bullshit.

  7. T.... M....

    Who is here from that Colbert bump back in 2014??

    T.... M....

    ... nope - from the "Live from Here" bump.

  8. T.... O....

    I like that they put out the video...even though there was a tad of a tuning issue...other than that...it was a hot performance.....MUSIC IS REAL. ps....come back to NY forget about Portland.

  9. A.... V....

    She look so good in yellow 😍

  10. n.... T....

    Damn she's got a purdy mouth

  11. C.... H....

    Amazing

  12. d.... h....

    Drummer at 2.35 - "What the heck is he doing to that solo?"

  13. G.... ....

    Reincarnation of The Band.

  14. R.... D....

    Saw them at Red Rocks Amphitheater in August. Fell in love with the band instantly.

    R.... D....

    Me too!

  15. B.... K....

    stalker focus from the bass player.

  16. J.... W....

    She sounds like a "blusey" Adele. Impressive!

    J.... W....

    But unlike Adele she can sing in tune...

  17. J.... W....

    Such an incredible performance with such great emotion and energy!! Rock on Lake Street Dive! =)

  18. W.... Z....

    liking her voice

  19. t.... b....

    New twist at the end. Fine performance.

  20. D.... J....

    Yes!!!!

  21. L.... T....

    This sounds like The Jefferson's theme song slowed down, but I love it.

  22. l.... ....

    Excellent talents everyone....and such interesting stylized playing.  

  23. D.... ....

    :T the guitar was detuning

  24. J.... M....

    Fun group, full of rhythm and easy listening.  Great with wine  :) 

  25. C.... ....

    I love guitar in music and it fits there sound but he does need to work on his solos. Seems like at some times he know like three licks and guesses his way through the rest. Just needs to loosen up but still great music. Wish the show near me wasn't sold out already!

    C.... ....

    @CJSchecter96 ya, he bombed that solo, but that's live music....

    C.... ....

    I' m writing in 2016, Check out his recent guitar work. He now has better guitars that keep true as you go up the neck. And for a super jazz trumpet player, and a guy who has a real sense of the music, he has progressed more on the guitar in 4 years than I have in 10 years. And Mike, the drummer, and Bridgette on bass have only gotten better. And Rachel...there is no one can match her. My favorite group, ever.

    C.... ....

    the guitar detuned

    C.... ....

    ya, it's a rare fail for them; they're normally so tight. but it's true that he's gotten better recently. Also, i think his first instrument is the trumpet, on which he is pretty flawless.

    C.... ....

    He's gotten better recently because he does less solos,and the keyboard player fills in more.When he learns to do trumpet solos within his lung capacity he'll be fine

  26. s.... ....

    Great job!  I could see Delbert McClinton singing that song also.

    s.... ....

    +subsailor1 ...Yes! Delbert McClinton as a guest with this 4-piece? T'would be awesome.

    s.... ....

    subsailor1 Funny... you guys are right! I am seeing both of them at the same venue a couple weeks apart in February 2017.

  27. c.... r....

    Good call Colbert, been up watching all their videos. One of a kind voice

  28. b.... ....

    Her voice is completely stunning !!

    b.... ....

    +benaflex13
    The rest of her ain't bad either ;)

  29. C.... C....

    Too much! Fantastic vocals, and everybody plays just the right part. Make it look easy and effortless, I know they have put in their time practicing and playing on the road. Looking forward to seeing them in Charlottesville, VA next month.

  30. N.... S....

    my head is turned!

  31. t.... ....

    Come back to Rochester NY!

  32. �.... �....

    Классная банда !..

  33. P.... ....

    That one dislike must be from a blind and def person who was having a rough day at the time.

    P.... ....

    ... or possibly someone not yet comfortable with the style of lead guitar demonstrated in this rendition.

  34. b.... ....

    What about Rachael Price! Wow!

  35. j.... ....

    Yeah, great tune. Not on the album, so have to keep coming back to YouTube!

  36. P.... M....

    just too many superlatives out there and none will really say why this is so great. fun. music. great bass, lovely rhythm, cracking guitar, super harmonies and a fab vocal. Nicely filmed too!

  37. J.... B....
