anybody remember this classic 80's song?

Well there's a little boy waiting
at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there,
waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...

*What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

Well, there's a pretty girl
serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there,
waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out,
they never stop
Well, she's not too proud,
to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...

Chorus

More than you give...

Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young,
but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"

And now I'm standing on the corner,
all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...

Chorus

What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?

I remember it, and I'd rather not. One of the whiniest choruses ever.

lol most Aussies will know the song (although I wonder how many of them will remember the original version hmmm ) our first Australian Idol runner-up Shannon Noll did a version of it (it was his first single and by far his most successful)

you'll most often hear a groan from most of us lol coz he absolutely crucified it boxed I still love the original version but can't bear to hear it anymore coz Shannon Noll wrecked it lol

It was also featured in Kath and Kim, during a traumatic scene where Sharon's watches Mark talking to another girl in a pub..
biggrin
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.
