Lyrics for Why Can't I Be You?

You're so gorgeous, I'll do anything I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins You're so perfect, you're so right as rain You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry again Everything you do is irresistible Everything you do is simply kissable Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Oh, I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath I'll eat you all up, or I'll just hug you to death You're so wonderful, too good to be true You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you Everything you do is simply delicate Everything you do is quite angelicate Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? You turn my head when you turn around You turn the whole world upside down I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked, I'm cooked, I'm stuck like glue You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you Everything you do is simply dreamy Everything you do is quite delicious So, why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? You're simply elegant
