Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I was a Beatle, I'd sing about yesterday
If I was James Taylor, I'd sing about fire and rain
If I was Elvis, I'd sing about my shoes
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you
[Verse 2]
If I was Hank Williams, it'd be heartache and pain
If I was Tom Petty, I'd sing about Mary Jane
If I was Ol' Willy, I'd sing about eyes that are blue
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you
[Verse 3]
'Cause you are the perfect melody
You are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And sing about you
[Verse 4]
If I was Jimmy Buffett, I'd sing about swimmin'
If I was a Stone, it'd be about honky-tonk women
If I was Old Blue Eyes, I'd sing Fly Me to the Moon
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you
[Verse 5]
'Cause you are the perfect melody
You are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And sing about you
[Verse 6]
Layla, Amanda, Maggie May, and Jude
The only thing missing is
You are the perfect melody
You are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And sing about you
[Verse 7]
All I care to be is me
Singin' 'bout you
You know I'd sing about you
