I Wish It Were Me

I built you a home in the country

But you won't leave your coldwater flat

I found you a Siamese kitten

But you still like your alley cat

Somehow, somewhere, somehow somewhere

Somebody's warping your mind

I wish it were me, I wish it were me

I wish it were me, babe

I bought you an ivory sports car

But you won't crawl off of that bike

I bought you some brand new dresses

But you keep on wearing those tights

Somehow, somewhere ...

I bought you some patent leather slippers

But you won't throw your sandals away

I bought you a baby piano

But your guitar you'd rather play

Somehow, somewhere ...

I bought you some diamond rings and things

But you keep on wearing that junk

I ordered you a stereo and some cool wax

But you keep on digging that funk

Somehow, somewhere ...
