If I was a talking baby, I could fit beneath the sofa,
Get on my knees and crawl under.
What would you do if I couldn t prove myself to you?
Go to hell and pump thunder.

If I was a magic carpet, could I take you for a ride?
Sit on me and let me take you to heaven.
And would you feel cheated if we simply couldn t reach it?
If I could only just make it passed Cloud Seven.

And maybe I m never gonna be,
All the things I d like to be,
Stop this strive for perfection.

If I was a mystic wizard, would you turn a trick on me?
Yeah, you ve sure got that gift, you entrance me.
Now, that reads wrong, still I ll put it in this song,
It s a cry for you to come and romance me.

If I was a rich man, would you cast a glance my way?
In my fast car, in my fine suit with my ego.
But I ain t no millionaire, clothes off the peg, shave my own hair,
And there ll always be problems wherever we go.

Maybe I m never gonna be,
All the things I d like to be,
Why do we strive for perfection?
And maybe I m being a fool,
Spending all this time on you.
Maybe I won t survive.

If I was a handsome man, then would I catch your eye?
If I was the life and soul of the party.
If I could make you laugh I bet you d soon stop making me cry,
But if you stopped making me cry, where would I be?

I guess I m never gonna be,
All the things you want me to be,
Only fools believe in perfection.
And yes, I guess I m just a fool,
Spending all my time on you,
Maybe I won t survive.
Remember perfection is a fault,
Do we really have a hope?
Do we really have a prayer?
I don t drip with golden rings,
Don t know what perfection brings,
Look, the bald guy don t know what he sings!
Who the fuck am I trying to kid?
Trying to keep these feelings hid,
Maybe I won t survive.
It seems this ordinary guy,
Tried his best to catch your eye,
This fool such as I.
I know I m never gonna be,
All the things I d love to be,
Part of you is part of me.
And I will never light the night,
Shield your eyes from the light,
Lay you down to go to sleep.
I know I ll never hang the moon,
Dot the sky with stars in June,
Take your hand and fly away.
I ll never change anyone s world,
Make the boy love the girl,
You ll never think of me when I leave.
You said you want to see me smile,
You re gonna have to wait a while,
All you ve done is break my heart.
I am not everyone,
Every father, every son,
I am not anyone.

I am not everyone.
I am not everyone.
I am not everyone.
I am not anyone

But I just want you to need me,
And I just need you to want me.
