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 doAbout you
I wishes were horsesThis beggar would ride
I'd have my cake and eat it
With a little on the sideI'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 doAbout you
Cool as a ruleI wouldn't play nobody's fool
But I keep on talkingMade in the shade
I had a perfect cue to fade
But I keep on walkingIf 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 insaneAnd that's crazy
So all that I can doIs to beg, plead, won't you tell me please
What am I gonna do
About you
