Lyrics
I Wish That I Could Be 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.
Life is a joke, you need but I don't
And everybody is crazy
I'm not what I seem, alone in a dream
I may not be but I'm lazy
The outside me is ahead by three
And I don't think I'm awful, you?
The inside me is ashamed to be
And I don't know what to do
Will I fall or will I fly?
Oh my, you know the answer too
Oh well, what the hell
I wish that I could be you
I want everything and I like to see
My whole life before my eyes
And pardon me if I'm a little weird
Now I wanna say goodbye
Will I fall or will I fly?
We'll find it out real soon
We'll see, ooh whee
I wish that I could be you
I wish that I could be you
