You Wish You Were Me
WWF Superstars · WWE Originals [2004]
You envy me (You envy me) and its killing you, (killing you) (eating you alive)
And you know it makes me smile when I look in the mirror
Thinkin' how good it is to be king
Chorus:
And dont you wish you were me?
The king of all you see
Don't you wish you were me?
It ain't that easy
Don't think you'll ever be,
Everything a man should be
Cause dont you wish you were me?
Keep dreamin' you'll never be me
Too soon, you'll be a memory
There for all to see (Forever) Just Illusion (Just Illusion)
And sometimes it makes me laugh when I see your reaction
Knowing that I've become mighty
Chorus
Inside my mind there is a freak
That drives me on past all defeat
You'll never have, you can't instill
The power of my iron will
Chorus
