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
Oooh, 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
Oooh, what am I gonna do
About you

Cool as a rule
I wouldn´t play nobody´s 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
I´d check out right now
I´d say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch
It wouldn´t work out anyhow
But this desire´s too much
It´s rented out my brain
It´s showing previews of your body
Driving me insane
And that´s crazy
So all that I can do
Is to beg, plead, won´t you tell me please
What am I gonna do
About you
