Why Can’t I Be You?

“Last one for our show, it’s fucking impossible.
I’d like to pick someone out and make them look stupid as me and say…”

Why can’t I be you?

Oh-ho

Do do do ah-ha

Do do do do do

You’re so gorgeous I’ll do anything
I’ll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You’re so perfect you’re so right as rain
You make me make me make me make me hungry again

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do quite angelicate
Why can’t IIIIIIIIIIIIII be you?

You turn my face
You took my breath
I’ll eat you all up
Or I’ll just hug you to death
You’re so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me make me make me make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply
Everything you do is simply
So whyyyyyyyyyyyy can’t IIIIIIIIIIIII
Be you?

Yeah you turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I’m smitten I’m bitten I’m hooked I’m cooked I’m stuck like glue
You make me make me make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you

Can’t I
Can’t I
Can’t I

Let me put my hands on you
Let me put my hands on you
Let me be your [?] till the real one comes along
Let me be your [?] till the real one comes along
She tried to ask me to the bed
She says I’m gonna be your master
So enter, lies there and says
Come on baby do it faster and faster

Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth to be Young at heart
But as rich as you are it’s much better by far to be young at heart

And life is more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth to be Young at heart
Everybody wants to be a cat
So cat’s the only cat that knows where it’s at
Everybody’s picking up on that feline beat
‘Cause everything else is obsolete

The square with a horn makes you wish you weren’t born every time he plays
With the square in the act you can set music back to the caveman day

Slip tight those shoes
Slip tight

Do do do (Lovecats do’s)
We move like cagey tigers
Oh, we couldn’t get closer than this
The way we talk the way we stalk
The way we walk the way we kiss
We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
Let’s go and throw all the songs we know into the sea
you and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and me

Why can’t I
Why can’t I be you?
Why can’t I be you? (heavily echoed)
Why can’t I be you?
Can’t I be can’t I be you can’t I be you

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Can’t I be you oooooooooooowwwwwwww
Can’t I
Can’t I be can’t I be can’t I be can’t I be
You be you you be you you be you be you be you
(Ending lyrics)

“Thank you. Thank you.”
