wish i were you lyrics

I wish I were you, I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you

In seventies attire, you know the whole planet
And the whole planet knows you back
You flaunt your imperfections
You carry it off with a wave of confidence

The hair flicks
The aura spits out something sparkly
All this reflects a deliriously happy individual
Makes me sick to my stomach

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
Wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you

Well, I'm jealous, so quote me on that
I've got a temper, you're laid back, back
Do you feel safe with a woman
Who doesn't even know her politics from her polo neck?

And you go with the flow
It fits you perfectly
As you make love on another lip-shaped settee
You're as cool as can be

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
I wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you

I wish I were you
Strange soul, you are, I stand in wonder
You make your own rules and use your own devices
You lay back, easy to do

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
I wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
And I wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you

I wish I were you
I wish I could wear your shoes
I wish I could think from your brain
I wish I were you, yes, I do, I wish I were you
