I wish I were you

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you
Yes I do
I wish I were you

In seventies attire
You know the whole planet
And the whole planet knows you back
You flaunt your imperfections
You carry it off with a wave of confidence
The hair flicks
The aura spits
Out something sparkly
All this reflects a
Deliriously happy individual
Makes me sick to my stomach

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you
Yes I do
I wish I were you

Yeah, I'm jealous
So quote me on that
I've got a temper
You're laid back, back
Do you feel safe with a woman who
Doesn't even know her politics
From her polo-neck?

And you go with the flow
It fits you perfectly
As you make love on another
Lip-shaped settee
You're as cool as can be

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you
Yes I do
I wish I were you

Strange soul you are
I stand in wonder
You make your own rules
And use your own devices
You lay back
Easy to do

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you
Yes I do
I wish I were you
