Think of all the things I could be If I wasn't me If I wasn't If only I wasn't me Think of all the things you could do If you weren't you If I wasn't If only If you weren't you I would start the day before three If I wasn't me If I wasn't If only I wasn't me I'd turn off the TV Think of all the books that I'd read Thoroughly, at speed If I wasn't If only I wasn't me The life I would lead I'd plant a few seeds Have a beautiful garden I'd always say 'please' I wouldn't say 'what', I'd say 'pardon' I'd send money and clothes I don't need overseas to the starving And I'd break every bone in body to assure you're laughing Are you laughing? Think of all the things that I'd make If I weren't a fake If I wasn't If only I weren't a fake Think of all the hands that I'd shake The friendships I'd make If I wasn't If only I weren't a fake Think of all the things I could be Content and happy If I wasn't If only I wasn't me If I could be free Think of all the places I'd see The faces I'd meet If I wasn't If only I wasn't me The life I would lead I'd always succeed Have my own big apartment And I wouldn't need improvement in any department I'd smoke less weed, indeed, I'd regret ever starting And I'd break every bone in my body to assure you're laughing Are you laughing? Think of all things that I'd miss The taste of your kiss If I wasn't If I gave up all of this Think of everything I couldn't do If you weren't you If I wasn't who you had wanted to choose
