lyrics

Think how it would be if you were more like me
All that you would see if you were more like me
All the things you’d know, the places you could go
if only you were more like me

Think what you could do if you were more like me
(Well here’s a little clue) if you were more like me
you’d know right from wrong, and how to get along
if only you were more like me

I can see you’re working hard and looking at your stuff
Well just keep tryin’ sweetheart
I’ll let you know when it’s enough

(ooh more, ooh more like me)

You would have more friends if you were more like me
Be liked by other men if you were more like me
You would be more fun and more pleasing to everyone
if only you were more like me

You’d be more fulfilled if you were more like me
More creative and more skilled if you were more like me
A career that works with more benefits and perks
if only you were more like me

I see you’re really changing, and growing year to year
And yet, for some strange reason
you are boring me to tears

You’d be more direct if you were more like me
And you might get more respect if you were more like me
You’d have a thicker skin, and all you need to win
if only you were more like me

You would be more kind if you were more like me
Have more peace of mind if you were more like me
You’d be more aware and more sensitive, I swear
if only you were more like me

But wait now my darling, you’re not looking so good
Could it be you’re not hearing me? (I feel so misunderstood!)

So just think what you could do if you were more like me
Well you’d be a better you if you were more like me
Think how you could feel; more authentic and more real
You could be in touch; stop demanding quite so much
We could communicate, and the sex would be so great
You would be more wise (Eckart Tolle in disguise)
You’d be more evolved; all you’re problems would be solved!

So just get over yourself, so you can be more like me
