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
Ooh, 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
Ooh, tell me 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 baby, baby 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 desires too much it's rented out my brain
It's showing previews of your body driving me insane baby that's crazy

So all that I can do is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please?
Tell me what am I gonna do, about you baby
What am I gonna do, about you
Yeah I guess, I guess I just play

Tell me
C'mon then get up get up
Yeah, yeah
