Be Yourself
03:50
|
|||
|
You can learn a lot about a person
Just by asking simple questions
Show an interest
Look them in the eye
Use their name in a sentence
"Hi Roger, It's good to learn about you"
Would be one way to start a conversation
Don't be nervous if they don't answer you directly
Or if they use a knife on you to push you away
Be yourself
You can't be anyone else
Always be yourself
You can't be anyone else
Express yourself with idioms and phrases
If you're double-jointed, show other people at a party
Smile at babies
Call children by their middle names
Be respectful of your elders
And of all antlered animals
It's important to wear clean clothes
Keep foodstains to a minimum
Take all the weasels out of your pockets
Iron your shirts
Wear cotton or fine linen
Velour tracksuits are always attractive
Zippers and buttons can be tricky
Ask for the assistance of others when in doubt
Be yourself
Don't be anyone else
Always be yourself
Can't be anything else
U R U
I M ME
U R NOT ME
I M NOT what you think I am
Be yourself
Don't be anyone else
Just be yourself
You can't be anything else
You gave me a self-addressed stamped envelope long ago
But I lost it
In this crazy world of email and text
I don't even know what a letter looks like
Could I send it express mail?
Could I just put it in the mail without an address?
Would the postmaster know to give it to you
Just by the look on your face?
But you're a you
And I'm a me
And they're a them
And we're a we
Be yourself
Not anyone else
Be yourself
You can't be anyone else
Never abuse prescription drugs
Or prescription glasses
Eat three square meals a day on round plates
Alphabetize your dishes
State that your favorite shade of gray is purple
Give away all your pens and pencils to the poor
Recognize that mangoes are a superior fruit
Enjoy the sweet smell of complacency
Set aside moments for reflection, meditation, and revenge
Be yourself
Don't be anyone else
Just be yourself
'Cause you're not anyone else
Do do do do do do do do do do

any menial chores
we've already finished them
now enjoy putty! putty!
the wind blowing through your hair
you can grab it
if you do you will not have a care in the world
where the people are dancing to the fastest car
they will advertise the putty on the sides
like a cybernet sevice
that will fix your computer for $9.95
in-house calls that's what we do
because we're putty
and we're coming for you

Superhero
You'll always be my superhero
Superhero
My one and only superhero
Superhero
I figured out your true identity
Superhero
Don't worry 'cause your secrect's safe with me
Stronger than steel and tough as granite
Your sidekick's from another planet
Sworn to save the human race
From the screaming hordes of outer space
Superhero
There'll never be another hero quite like you
Superhero
You always leave the bad guys black and blue
You won that fight without a scrape
Their bullets bounced off your kevlar cape
Defeating all the enemies
Of freedom truth and liberty
You're the victim of experiments
By the Department of Defense
You've got bones of titanium
And a diamond-studded cranium
Your X-ray eyes see right through me
Your brainwaves send your love right to me
Fly through the sky at the speed of light
Right back home to me at night.
Superhero
You'll always be my superhero
Superhero
You're my hero yeah
Superhero
You'll always be my superhero
My one and only superhero

first we'd start with dinner
there'd be toast of course
after dinner we would head to a movie

afterwards we could go play miniature golf
or just take a walk
you know, just sit down together and watch the sunset
it's buttery spread
it's magical, delicious, and it goes on bread
yeah! i feel it!
glowing like a golden orb of happiness!
