Verse

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 make me make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I -I be you?
Why can't I be you?  
| Dm | Bb G | x2

Verse

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 make me make me hungry for you

Chorus

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?  
Why can't I be you?  
| Dm | Bb G | x2

Verse

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 make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?  
Why can't I be you?  
Why can't I be you?
