Why Can't I Be the Same?

I know you think

You're one of a kind

You are everybody's baby

You're something powerful you can't deny

When you feel appreciated

I know you know

The world's on your side

You get anything you please

Bathing in spotlight and taking your time

With the charmed life that you lead

All the days I would rather redo

Now I'm wasting away

How I wish I was you

Summer days in the shade of a tree

Probably feeling so fine

How I wish it was me

Now everybody knows your name

It's your claim to fame

Why can't I be the same?

I know you have

Whatever it is

To turn the world right upside down

Light up the room but you're not even bright

And it's just a little crazy

All the days I would rather redo

Now I'm wasting away

How I wish I was you

Summer days in the shade of a tree

Probably feeling so fine

How I wish it was me

Everybody knows your name

It's you're claim to fame

Why can't I be same?

All the days I would rather redo

Now I'm wasting away

How I wish I was you

Summer days in the shade of a tree

Probably feeling so fine

How I wish it was me

Everybody knows your name

It's you're claim to fame

Why can't I be same?

Be the same

Everybody knows your name

They know you

Why can't I be the same?
