The Way You Want Me To Be

(الألبوم: Faithless - 1978)

I wish I could dance like Fontaine
Floating along on a breeze
But when you come home
And I get you alone
I wish that I could put you at ease

I wish I could sing you a love song
Sing about the silvery moon
But the things that you say
When I think it's OK
Always seem to sing out of tune

Oh, I'm not the way
That you want me to be
No, it's not like me
No, it's not like me

You say I should dress like a Lady
Read all the best magazines
But the people in there
And the clothes that they wear
Take it from the girl of your dreams

You wish I could be a show-piece
Something to show all your friends
Is it true what they say
That I get in your way?
Is this about the place that it ends?

I'm not the way
That you want me to be
No, it's not like me
No, it's not like me

I wish I could dance like Fontaine
Floating along on the breeze
And when you come home
And I get you alone
I wish that I could put you at ease
