Japanese Exchange Student

I might as well be a Japanese exchange student 
  'Cause people wanna know me right when I show up 
  But then the thrill wears off and then I'm alone 
  Until Beyonce rolls through town and I think 
  That I can call and score a ticket when I can't 

  'Cause I don't know her like you don't know me 
  It's a lonely world when it's all that you see 
  It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me 
  This gets lonely 

  I might as well be a Japanese exchange student 
  'Cause people wanna know me right when I show up 
  But then the thrill wears off and then I'm alone 
  Until Paul McCartney rolls through town 
  And I think that I can get in on the guest list, when I can't 

  'Cause I don't know him like you don't know me 
  It's a lonely thing when it's all that you see 
  It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me 
  This gets lonely 

  Last year I got the cover, my phone wouldn't stop ringing and ringing 
  They called in on my mother and that is saying something 
  Well, maybe it's been quiet, my phone just picks up dust 
  'Cause it's all about who you know and not about if you really know anyone 

  So, hey, be nice to the Japanese exchange students 
  'Cause people wanna know them right when they show up 
  And they have found yourself in a similar place 
  Where you found you looked around and just saw loads of empty space 
  And you were thinking how 

  You don't know them like they don't know you 
  It's a lonely feeling after all that you do 
  Got a good heart, got a good soul, what must I do to prove it anymore 
  I got friends in high and low places and it's all the same to me 

  I love the Japanese, I love the Japanese 
  Those from Japan and overseas 
  I love the Japanese, do you love the Japanese? 
  Those from Japan and overseas 
  Those from Japan and overseas like me
