Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

Everything you do is irresistible

Everything you do is simply kissable

Why can't I be you?

[Verse 2]

I'll run around in circles until 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 2]

Everything you do is simply delicate

Everything you do is quite angelicate

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 3]

Everything you do is simply dreamy

Everything you do is quite delicious

So why can't I be you?

[Outro]

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant
