Lyrics
[Intro]
This song is called Grace Kelly
[Intro]
"I wanna talk to you"
[Verse 1]
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
[Verse 2]
I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome
A little bit shy
Why don't you like me, why don't you like me
Without making me try?
[PreChorus]
I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mmm
But all her looks were too sad, ah
So I tried a little Freddie, mmm
I've gone identity mad, mad, mad, mad!
[Chorus]
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
[Chorus]
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
"Getting angry doesn't solve anything"
[Verse 3]
How can I help it, how can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby, hello my baby
Putting my life on my brink
[Verse 4]
Why don't you like me, why don't you like me
Like yourself?
Should I bend over? Should I look older
Just to be put on your shelf?
[PreChorus]
I tried to be like Grace Kelly, mmm
But all her looks were too sad, ah
So I tried a little Freddie, mmm
I've gone identity mad, mad, mad, mad!
[Chorus]
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
[Chorus]
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
[Bridge]
Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want-
You want
[Chorus]
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
[Chorus]
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
[Chorus]
I could be brown, I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple
I could be anything you like
[Chorus]
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?
Walk out the door!
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Outro]
"Humphrey! We're leaving"
Ooh-yeah
