You kids have such short memories
Last year you looked right through me
I was just a little man
But I used a lot of, "Yes, I can"
I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard then you find
That it's just a state of mind
Now, I'm so Waldo P. Emerson Jones
While you spent the summer topping up your tan
I was working on my image, now I'm a self made man
I could fill a notebook with all the paths I could have taken
I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard then you find
That it's just a state of mind
Now I'm so
(Waldo P. Emerson Jones)

It's not that drastic, I suppose
Just a hair cut and some different clothes
You don't change much when you change your name
You just feel better about being the same
I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard, then you find
That it's just a state of mind
Now I'm so
(Waldo P. Emerson Jones)
