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
I 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
