Why
Can't I Be You
You're so gorgeous I'll do anything!
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins!
You're so perfect!
You're so right as rain!
You make me
Make me hungry again
Everything
you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?
I'll run
around in circles
'Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful!
Too good to be true!
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything
you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?
You turn
my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue!
You make me
Make me hungry for you
Everything
you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
You're simply
elegant!

Robert
on 'Why Can't I Be You'...
"A fan said to me, I wish I could be you. In the song I turned
that around." (Ponderings About Picture Show Source Unknown)
Did you write the following track with anyone particular in mind?
"Anyone I meet and like". (Cure News 3 - September 1987)
"Me bemoaning my inelegance? Or being jealous of someone else's
poise?" (Cure News 13 - August 1992)
"In summer 1985 I took a short trip to Lima, Peru for my first
(and so far only) visit with Aurora, my adopted/sponsored child -
'Why Can't I Be You' was written on the last evening of my visit,
as a sort of 'keepsake'..." (September 1997)
"The song came from a question asked by a fan. Even if I understood
the sense of his question, I tried to explain to him that it was impossible.
There are so many reasons why you can't be someone else. I personally
think that we all have more or less the same life : we're born, we
live and die. This idea of being someone else can create a terrible
feeling of alienation." (Europe 2 interview, November 2001) |
