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
