Everybody tells me,
That it's so hard to make it,
Yet so hard to break it,
And there's no way to fake it,
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling,
I shouldn't believe in,
The dreams that I'm dreaming,

I hear it everyday,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gonna amount to much,
But they're never gonna change my mind.
Oh!

[Chorus: x2]
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,

How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile.
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.

[Chorus]

Tell me, tell me something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me something I don't know.

Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm doing,
This life I'm pursuing,
The odds of me loosing.

Everybody tells me that it's one in a million,
More like one in a billion,
Or one in a zillion.

I hear it everyday,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gonna amount to much,
But they're never gonna change my mind.
Oh!

[Chorus: x2]

How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile,
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.

[Chorus]

Are you ready for it?
Yeah I'm ready for it.
Really ready for it?
Yeah I'm ready for it.
Let's get ready for this.

I'm on my way,
I know I'm gonna get there someday,
It doesn't help when you say,
It won't be easy.

[Chorus: x2]

How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile,
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.

[Chorus: x3]

How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile,
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.

[Chorus]

    General Comment:This song is defenitely about fullfilling your dreams, no matter what. And so what if you know the chance you´ll actually do it is not so big. Without dreams this world is nothing. That's what I keep saying to myself, anyway.
    About the disneypart; yes, she STARTED at disney. that doesn't mean she'll be staying there. Gomez took her shot and is now taking her talent to another level. Go and get 'em is what I'd say...

    General Comment:This song is nothing to me other than another Disney-fied pop piece. Now, there's a place and time for that.

    General Comment:I like Selena Gomez is a lot better than Slutty Cyrus. She thinks before she acts and she is always fully clothed.

    General Comment:no comments???

    well, to me...I relate to this song, because it's like when someone tells you that you're not good enough or in this case "you'll never do that" or they don't support your dreams, and you're like "ya know what, tell me somethin i don't know!" and then when you finally prove them wrong, it's an amazing feeling!
