Shayne Ward - What About Me Lyrics






There's a little boy waitin' at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waitin' down there
Waiting half the day
We never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around
Knocked to the ground
But he gets to his feet and he says...

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more then you give

There's a pretty girl standing at the counter of the corner shop

She's been waitin' back there
Waitin' for her dreams
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well she's not too proud
To cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams:

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more then you give

So take a step back and see the little people
They may be young
But they're the ones who make the big people big
So listen
As they whisper
What about me

Now I'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed
Nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky
I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more
Then I go...

What about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more what about me
It isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see
I wanna live
But you just take more
You just take more
You just take more then you give

What about me
What about me
What about me

Shayne Ward What About Me Comments
  1. I.... A....

    I just don’t wanted to get a hold you and your

  2. E.... W....

    I agree with Brad T. This is a good version but it falls way short of Shannon Noll when it comes to who is the better.

  3. E.... C....

    Shannon Noll shits all over this! #straya

  4. B.... T....

    Not as good as Shannon Noll's version

    B.... T....

    Watching I’m a Celeb and Shannon said that his version was released in Ireland but further than that got stopped as Simon Cowell spoke to the writers and got this version released. It sold a million copies and Shannon’s version didn’t go any further.

    B.... T....

    Shannon, to be fair, has no clue. The reality is if his version was released nobody in the UK knew him, he'd have too far to fly to promote it in person, and what would he follow it up with? Simon threw it on this guy's album as a filler. The ALBUM sold well because the Brits liked him (he came runner up). The song was not released as a single. That's business and how it works. Mister Noll needs to wake up to himself.

    B.... T....

    Sorry, but I have to disagree with that. Had he had the opportunity to release the single properly, it may have done well. It reached No. 2 in the charts in Ireland, at the time, so the likelihood is it would've fared well in the rest of the UK. He never got the chance thanks to Cowell so we'll never know.
    Shayne Ward on the other hand could've easily not had the song on his album and it still would've sold millions, it's Shayne Ward.

    B.... T....

    which totally ignores the fact that Shannon's recording was for sale in Australia, not in overseas markets.

    B.... T....

    poida Ireland is an overseas market, it spent almost 6 months in the top 10, it was also popular in New Zealand. Although not around the entire planet, I’d consider that a limited international release.

  5. B.... t....

    I loved this song when I was a kid but no one ever seemed to know much about it. I never understood why, it was my favorite of all

  6. C.... L....

    Beautiful song by Shayne Ward. Been thinking this most of my life. What about me?
