John Mellencamp – Pop Singer

My favorite Mellencamp song.

I was there, barb, oh,

Never wanted to be no pop singer,
Never wanted to write no pop songs.
Never had no weird hair to get my songs over.
Never wanted to hang out after the show.
Pop singer (writing) of pop songs.

Never wanted to have my picture taken.
Now, who would want to look into these eyes?
Just want to make it real – good, bad or indifferent.
That's the way that I live and that's the way that I'll die (As a)
Pop singer (of) pop songs.

Pop singer, writing of pop song.

Never wanted to be no pop singer,
Never want to write no pop songs.
Never wanted to have a manager over for dinner.
Never wanted to hang out after the show.

Pop singer, writing pop songs.
Never wanted to be no pop singer, of pop songs.
A pop singer.
Never wanted to write no pop songs.

I certainly did not want to be a pop singer in 1989. I fell in love with computer science. I have at times in my life thought I could have been a pop singer and had the energy to perform on stage. But I would have had to learn to play instruments and write songs. I wouldn't just be a singer.

Good song.

nice use of black background vocals

I never thought he was a pop singer anyway, not that there's anything with being one.

Best thing about this video…is Bridget Butler dancing in a bikini. ?
