“I’m Just Ken” Song Lyrics from Barbie Movie
Doesn’t seem to matter what I do
I’m always number two
No one knows how hard I tried, oh-oh, I
I have feelings that I can’t explain
Drivin’ me insane
All my life been so polite
But I’ll sleep alone tonight
‘Cause I’m just Ken
Anywhere else I’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I’m just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
I wanna know what’s like to love
To be the real thing
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I’m in my feelings?
And is my moment finally here or am I dreaming?
I’m no dreamer
Can you feel KENergy?
Feels so real, my KENergy
Can you feel KENergy?
Feels so real, my KENergy
I’m just Ken
Anywhere else I’d be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I’m just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
I’m just Ken and I’m enough
And I’m great at doing stuff
So, hey, check me out, yeah, I’m just Ken
My name’s Ken and so am I
Put that manly hand in mine
So, hey world, check me out, yeah I’m just Ken
Baby, I’m just Ken
“I’m Just Ken” was written by Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson. It’s a great balance of being silly and serious and why it works so well in the film. And you can now call it Oscar-nominated “I’m Just Ken!”
