Like You

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

I want to be like you

In a jam band where the lights crown me and i'm a superstar

I want to see like you

Over me and over them

I want to cry like you

Out my trivial and shallow opinion

On the state of things

I want to try like you

On a soapbox in front of them



And i can't claim to have a reason

Unless it's lost somewhere down deep

Could be i don't get enough attention

If time and talk were cheap

I'd want to be like you



What if i chose to walk like you?

Carrying around my designer personality

And biting my nails

If i could dance like you

I'd be a millionaire

I don't think this me would like you

But, damn just knowing that you are loving

Every single blink byƩ it makes me smile for you

Is anybody in there?



And i can't claim to have a reason

Unless it's lost somewhere down deep

Could be i don't get enough attention

If time and talk were cheap

I'd want to be like you



And i can't claim to have a reason

Unless it's lost somewhere down deep

Could be i don't get enough attention

If time and talk were cheap

I'd want to be like you
