Gimme Five Lyrics

Mom and Dad always tell me

Their dream is for me

To get a degree, a house, a job

And someone to marry

"But you gotta hurry up

Because time is running

And right now in my pockets

There isn't much money"

Aaah!

Who knows why their dream is not to see me happy

(Happy, I just want to be happy as I want to be)

Maybe is not their dream

But you know what?

It can be mine

Hey, you in the mirror!

Gimme five, you in the mirror!

Let it resonate louder than anything else

More than who won't believe in you

More than who stares at you

But never sees you

Be your own number one fan

You'll be fine just by yourself

Remember, you won't need no one else

Hey, it's you I'm talking to:

Now, gimme five!

Ohohoh…

Mom and Dad always tell me

"You're never hanging out!

Ain't you ever getting bored here?

You're stuck inside this house!

But don't stay away too long

Don't you care about us?" (What?)

"Look at my colleagues' kids

They're way more grateful than you are!"

Aaah!

Who knows why it never matters how I feel

(They don't know how I feel, don't care about how I feel…)

They never really care

But you know what?

I'll always do

Hey, you in the mirror!

Gimme five, you in the mirror!

Let it resonate louder than anything else

More than who won't believe in you

More than who stares at you

But never sees you

Be your own number one fan

You'll be fine just by yourself

Remember, you won't need no one else

Hey, it's you I'm talking to

Now, gimme five!

Ohohoh…

And when it seems

Like the world is crumbling

Slowly getting twisted in front of your eyes

That life is no worth living

And things do make no sense at all

(Maybe I just want to live happy as I want to live)

I'll stand up and say

Hey, you in the mirror!

Gimme five, you in the mirror!

Let it resonate louder than anything else

More than who won't believe in you

More than who stares at you

But never sees you

Be your own number one fan

You'll be fine just by yourself

Remember, you won't need no one else

Hey, it's you I'm talking to

Now, gimme five!

Ohohoh…

Ohohoh…

Ohohoh…

Hey, you in the mirror
