If I could have my way

Id be sleeping in the alley

On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin

If I could have my way

Id be runnin with the circus

I would be taming all the lions

Thered be no denying I was brave and crazy

If I could have my way

I wouldnt be dreaming, scheming, screaming

Oooh, what am I gonna do

About you



I wishes were horses

This beggar would ride

Id have my cake and eat it

With a little on the side

Id never want for money

Id never want for friends

I wouldnt have to make excuses for the shape that Im in

Shaking and crazy

Before I saw your eyes

I was in control of my soul on the whole

Oooh, what am I gonna do

About you



Cool as a rule

I wouldnt play nobodys fool

But I keep on talking

Made in the shade

I had a perfect cue to fade

But I keep on walking



If I could have my way

Id check out right now

Id say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch

It wouldnt work out anyhow

But this desires too much

Its rented out my brain

Its showing previews of your body

Driving me insane

And thats crazy

So all that I can do

Is to beg, plead, wont you tell me please

What am I gonna do

About you
