Chameleon, come to my hand, show me what color you are today
Chameleon, make me a plan, show me exactly the right words to say
Chameleon, I'll be your friend, if my appearance is pleasing to you
Chameleon, I'd she'd my skin, if I could come back again looking like you

I want to be colorful just like you
I want to know all of the things that you do
And I want to be different, exactly like you
I want to be a chameleon too

When I was younger, you taught me well by ridiculing me for being myself
But now I'm older and I know the way, I can fit into a crowd any day

I want to be colorful just like you
I want to know all of the things that you do
And I want to be different, exactly like you
I want to be a chameleon too

My colors have faded along with my youth
I am aloof and assuming
I have seen glimpses of light through the trees
But the joke that you spoke still eludes me
Do me a favor and throw me a line
That makes me feel like I'm in a movie
I'll throw my head back and laugh 'til I die
And the moment I die you'll release me
Then I will be free to go home
