If I was a Beatle I'd sing about yesterday If I was James Taylor I'd sing about fire and rain If I was Elvis I'd sing about my shoes But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you If I was Hank Williams it'd be about heartache and pain If I was Tom Petty I'd sing about Mary Jane If I was Ole Willie I'd sing about eyes that are blue But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you 'Cause you are the perfect melody You are every note I'd sing Every word I'd write Even when I'm out of tune All I can be is me And sing about you If I was Jimmy Buffett I'd sing about swimmin' If I was a Stone it'd be about honky tonk women If I was Ole Blue Eyes I'd sing fly me to the moon But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you 'Cause you are the perfect melody And you are every note I'd sing Every word I'd write Even when I'm out of tune All I can be is me And sing about you Leila, Amanda, Maggie May and June The only thing missin' is You are the perfect melody And you are every note I'd sing Every word I'd write Even when I'm out of tune All I can be is me And I'd sing about you All I care to be is me Singin' 'bout you You know I'd sing about you
