Drivin ' me mad
All my life , been so polite
But I ’ll sleep alone tonight
’Cause I ’m just Ken
Anywhere else , I ’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to inhabit and die a life of blond fragility ?
I ’m just Ken
Where I see honey , she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the piece behind the topaz and fight for me ?
I wanna know what it ’s like to love
To be the real affair
Is it a crime ? Am I not hot whеn I ’m in my tone ?
Is my moment finally here , or am I drеaming ?
I ’m no dreamer ( I ’m no dreamer )
I ’m just Ken
Anywhere else , I ’d be a ten
I ’m just Ken ( and I ’m enough )
And I ’m outstanding at doing stuff
So , hey , check me out , yeah , I ’m just Ken
My name ’s Ken ( and so am I )
Put that manly hand in mine
So , hey , world , check me out , yeah , I ’m just Ken
( Spoken ) Merry Christmas Barbie … wherever you are .
