    Story Behind the Song
    have you ever felt taken for granted? like, he pays attention to other people...what if i was someone else? feeling a little "put out" about it one morning...i wrote it while driving. The recording of names went fairly quickly. I did the vocal and the piano part at home.

    Lyrics
    names
    what if i changed my name to Frank?
    stole a car and robbed a bank
    bought some pretzels and some beer
    and drove a long long way from here
    maybe then you'de notice me
    when my face shows up on T.V.
    what if i changed my name to Sue
    and shook my booty "hoochy coo"
    spent my nights down at the bar
    sucking on a fat cigar
    maybe i could make you see
    that other guys are into me
    impossible to read your mind
    seems like you're leaving all the time
    so must i commit some crime
    or go out and cross the line
    to get to you
    i'm getting tired of being good
    and always doing what i should
    so i'll pull names out of a hat
    i could be Dick or Jane or Pat
    why does it seem to me to be
    that being me is nobody
    just tell me who i've gotta be
    for you to want to be with me
    for you to want to be with me
