You Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can have
You can do
You can be
Anything you wanna be
But remember where you come from
Anh remember what you need
Some people like to have a ball
They wanna show they got it all
Some people throw it in your face
Just to tell you what they got
By what they have to waste
Do you get off on being shallow?
Where's the fun in that?
Chorus
You can have
You can do
You can be
Anything you wanna be
But remember where you come from
Anh remember what you need
You can dream constantly
But is that who you wanna be
Coz maybe what you have now
Isn't really what you need
Some people need to shout and scream
They only do this when they're rolling in green
And others spunk it up the wall
But it's hard to swallow baby
When you're heading for a fall
Do you get off on being shallow?
Where's the fun in that? Yeah
Chorus
Why should I care or pay attention
It's not my fault
Your words mean nothing
You ocould have a little sense of affection for yourself
It's what you really need
Oh
You can have
You can do
You can be
Anything you wanna be
Yeah
Chorus
