| If I could have my way
|
| I’d be sleeping in the alley
|
| On a couch with a friend
|
| And a bottle of gin
|
| If I could have my way
|
| I’d be runnin' with the circus
|
| I would be taming all the lions
|
| There’d be no denying I was
|
| Brave and crazy
|
| If I could have my way
|
| I wouldn’t be dreaming. |
| scheming, screaming
|
| Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
|
| Tell me, what am I gonna do
|
| About you?
|
| If wishes were horses
|
| This beggar would ride
|
| I’d have my cake and eat it
|
| With a little on the side
|
| I’d never want for money
|
| I’d never want for friends
|
| I wouldn’t have to make excuses
|
| For the shape that I’m in
|
| Shaking and crazy
|
| Before I saw your eyes
|
| I was in control of my soul, on the whole
|
| Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
|
| Tell me, what am I gonna do
|
| About you?
|
| Ah, cool as a rule
|
| I wouldn’t play nobody’s fool
|
| But I keep on talking
|
| Ah, made in the shade
|
| I had a perfect cue to fade
|
| But I keep on walking
|
| Baby, baby
|
| I keep on walking
|
| If I could have my way
|
| I would check out right now
|
| I’d say out to lunch honey, thanks a bunch
|
| It wouldn’t work out anyhow
|
| This desire’s too much
|
| It’s rented out my brain
|
| It’s showing previews of your body
|
| Driving me insane
|
| Baby, that’s crazy
|
| Ah, so all that I can do
|
| Is to beg, plead, won’t you tell me please
|
| Tell me, what am I gonna do
|
| About you?
|
| Baby, what am I gonna do
|
| About you?
|
| Eh, ah, eh, no
|
| I guess, I guess I just play, oh
|
| Come on, now
|
| Get up, get up
|
| Ah
|
| Eh, yeah, yeah
|
| Ow
|
| (So much for that) |
