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, ooh, ah, ah Tell me, 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, ooh, ah, ah Tell me, what am I gonna do About you? Ah, cool as a rule I wouldn't play nobody's fool But I keep on talking Ah... made in the shade I had a perfect cue to fade But I keep on walking Baby, baby I keep on If I could have my way I would 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 insane Baby, that's crazy Ah... 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 da About you? Eh, ah, eh, no I guess I guess I just play Oh Come on, now Get up, get up Ah Eh, yeah, yeah Ow (So much for that)
