All the king's horses
Wouldn't make me believe
Even when the walls come crashing down
You still can never be
A rebel without a cause
A rebel to the first degree
Why don't you stop trying so hard?
Cause there's no men, man enough to be

Another James Dean
You're nothing like him
So don't call me friend
Cause you're nothing like me
Even when the world stop turning
There will never be another James Dean
You'll never be James Dean

All the faces you're making
Save it for the scene
All the people you're faking
Why was it only me?
Who saw right into your eyes
And you're just not so deep
I've had too many cries
Mr. Prince Charming
Sorry, you could never be

Cause you're nothing like him
So don't call me friend
Cause you're nothing like me
Even when the world stop turning, the world stops turning
Now you move to the move to the next town
Next chance, next girl, have fun baby
I'm taking back my world

Here we are face to face
Same energy, you and me
Don't wanna be enemies [x5]

    " here we are,
    face to face,
    same energy,
    you and me,
    dont wanna be, enemies".

    General Comment:I just ran across this yesterday, being a huge James Dean fan. I was honestly very surprised she knew who James Dean was, so i'm not surprised her fans don't. He was an arrogant but beautiful man, amazing actor, with slight sociopathic tendencies *laughs* He's freaking great. Is. Not Was. Seeing as how he still lives on in his movies. As for the one that said he was a ladies man, and liked men. Where exactly did you get your info from because he only ever had feeling for one girl, and he died a virgin soo. Care to explain that to me? Don't talk about something you know nothing about kids.

    Anyway the song, is horrible. It doesn't make sense but i do like it for the simple fact she's right, there will never be another James Dean :)

    General Comment:Everybody here's wrong. Hilary said in an interview herself that when talking about James Dean, she's referring to Joel Madden just before they were a couple... when she was bittersweet about him and wasn't too sure.

    General Comment:hmm well all you people who dont like hilary duff, please tell someone who cares, this is a place where you post what you think the song meaning is not weather or not you like the artist..if you dont like her so much why are you on here lyric site?
    do something more valuable with your time instead of making fun of hilary duff. go read a book or something


    OKAY- well i do love this song it seems like its about her breaking up with a person who is not fully honest with her "All the faces you're making/save it for the scene/all the people you're faking" it seems like he plays a role around her like trys to be something hes not. seems like hes a bit cocky.

    General Comment:Lol James Dean was the epitome of a perfect guy for years, he became an icon because of the fact that he died at 24, at the peak of his career, after filming Rebel Without a Cause.

    Irony is, James Dean wasn't a real macho man. Sure, he liked the ladies, but he also liked the guys ;)
