I see the way you look at me
You envy me and it's killing you
And you know it makes me smile when I look in the mirror
Thinkin' how good it is to be king

And don't you wish you were me?
The king of all you see
Don't you wish you were me?
It ain't that easy

Don't think you'll ever be
Everything a man should be
'Cause don't you wish you were me?
Keep dreamin', you'll never be me

Too soon you'll be a memory
There for all to see, just illusion
And sometimes it makes me laugh when
I see your reaction knowing that I've become mighty

And don't you wish you were me?
The king of all you see
Don't you wish you were me?
It ain't that easy

Don't think you'll ever be
Everything a man should be
'Cause don't you wish you were me?
Keep dreamin', you'll never be me

Inside my mind there is a freak
That drives me on past all defeat
You'll never have, you can't instill
The power of my iron will

And don't you wish you were me?
The king of all you see
Don't you wish you were me?
It ain't that easy

Don't think you'll ever be
Everything a man should be
'Cause don't you wish you were me?
Keep dreamin', you'll never be me
