I like it    I don't like it

I want you to be you

Don't change

Cause you think I might like you to be different

I fell in love with you


I don't want you blond

I don't want you not to swear, not to swep

It's you I fell in love with

Your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moves

Well maybe that could go

But everything else, I want you to be you


I want you to dance whenever you feel it

Up by the bandstand

In the parking lot

Up on the table

Well, maybe the table can go

But I want you to be you

I love what you wear cause you're wearing it

That shawl

That clinging dress

The svelte black jacket

Those leopard capris

Well, maybe not the capris

But I want you to be you


I love what you eat

You want yogurt? you got yogurt!

Papaya? it's yours!

Chewing gum? chew away!

I just want you to be you...


Spit out the gum, it doesn't work...


When you sleep, you're the most beautiful

In the moonlight, your soft skin glows

Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision

The murmuring breath, the slight snore

The slight snore...

I want you to be you
