Just Like You Lyrics
It's the guy from the one band
Cigarette in my left hand
Whole world in my right hand
Twenty-five and it's all planned
Night out and it's ten grand
Headlines that I can't stand
[Pre-Chorus]
But you only get half of the story
The cash and the cars and the glory
No sleep and we party 'til morning
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring
[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Verse 2]
If I had it my way, pub lunch every Sunday
Cheap beer and it's okay
I wanna lay where she lays
I wanna stay in these days
Gonna smoke and it's okay
But you only get half of the story
The cash, and the cars and the glory
Just like everyone else here before me
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring
[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
[Bridge]
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Can I just be the same?
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Let me be the same
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
[Outro]
If you only knew
About
“Just Like You” is a promotional single released by Louis Tomlinson. It’s his first song without a feature on it. A lyric video was released on October 17, 2017.
On his social media accounts, Louis said:
So I wrote a song called Just Like You a few months ago. After a few conversations with the label I told them that I wanted to release it. My next single will be a bit later this year but I wanted to share this with you now.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, Tomlinson called “Just Like You” autobiographical:
The fans have seen so much and got to know us so well, but I’ve never really had a chance to be as honest like that with music. So that was really refreshing … It was just important for me to write a song that could humanize me as much as possible, and that the fans could really feel like I’m just like them – honest and vulnerable and real.

There’s one song I’m really attached to called ‘Just Like You,’ which is all about this view of celebrities that we’re impenetrable and almost not human, but fundamentally we all have the same problems. Heartbreak feels the same, loss feels the same, all these feelings are the same for all of us. Mine just look a load different to, maybe, Tom who works in the chippy from nine to five.
