The New Version of You Songtext
von Reel Big Fish

When did you quit pulling all of the stops for me?
And when did your 110% become under fifty?
There you are, phoning it in
Going through the motions with an artificial grin
You say that you′re getting better
You say that you're getting better

You say you′re becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It′s the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I′d like to do
It's kill the new version of you


When did you start wearing all of those clothes to be cool? (Nice outfit.)
And when did you start using all of that slang? I can't understand you (For shizzle!)
I bet you′d forget to say "I love you"
If the teleprompter hadn′t told you
You say that you're getting better
You say that you′re getting better

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn′t so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It′s the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It′s the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there′s one thing I'd like to do
It′s kill the new version of you

Who are you?
I don't know now
You got me wondering, I wonder how
You got to be so different now


You say you′re becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same
I still feel the same!

It′s the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I′d like to do
It's kill the new version of you

It's the new, it′s the new
New version of you
It′s the new, it's the new
New version of you
It′s the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there′s one thing I'd like to do
It′s kill the new version of you
