Only You

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.

I used to dream that I would be

A bright and shiny star on TV

Or maybe I would go to college,

like Harvard or Devry

I would live in an apartment

in Paris or in Cincinatti

I would play my music loud and not apologize

I used to dream that I would marry

A guy that looked like Charlie sheen

And he would have a name like Gary, Steve, Todd… David!

I used to think I'd have three kids

And they all would look just like me

And I would force them kids to carry all my groceries

We don't need no goals

Don't need human connection

Dreams are overrated

Cause our life's already perfection

Now I know all that is true

Cause all I really want is you

You and you and only you

Me, you, me, you

I used to dream that I would have

A best friend named Michelle

And we would braid some friendship bracelets

We would tell all of those other fucking cunts to go to hell

And we're 60 we'd get facelifts

like Joan Rivers/Burt Reynolds

I used to think I'd have co-workers

And we'd stay out til two at night

And I would have a perfect body

(you do… I know)

I used to think that I'd have sex

At some point in my adult life

And I was sure it would be naughty

We don't need no goals

Don't need human connection

Dreams are overrated

Cause our life's already perfection

Now I know all that is true

Cause all I really want is you

You and you and only you

Me, you, me, you… YOU!
