Why don't you like me??!

Can't believe I didn't post this one before... from the moment I first heard it, it has given me the shivers; it is just so good. Not to mention Mika himself, I mean, look at him. I'm sure he had other reasons but it's fairly obvious to me why he named the song 'Grace Kelly' instead of something like 'Why don't you like me', which is one of the repetitive lines in the lyrics.
'Cause, hey, I like him! Find it hard to believe that there's someone who wouldn't like him, to be honest.

Which is rubbish of course. Everybody has at least one (or more) person in daily life who doesn't like him/her. And don't we all know somebody whom we don't particularly like? It's natural, normal and ok. What isn't ok is that some of us (me, for example...) go out of our way to try to be liked. Even when we should know better. Even though we know it doesn't work like that.

Nobody really wants to beg around, just for the "Ah, great! They like me!" - feeling. It actually means that they dislike the real person you are, but if you adjust, reshape and compromise yourself a bit (or more) here and there, you might just have a chance that they do like you. And that is rubbish too.

These people are not worth it. No matter how much you like them, you cannot change the way they look at you. The only thing you can do, is to be yourself. And that you're damn proud of who you are too. Easier said than done, but if worse comes to worst, you can always try to be like Mika.

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!
