Cause you look perfect and you don't try
And life goes by it's like you don't mind
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
And when you walk in we all stare
And they all watching but you don't care
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
Cause me I never been tall
I mean I ain't short but I always been small
Always in a race with the clock on the wall
And everybody telling me I got it all wrong
I bet you never felt lost
Always had a plan that your parents understand
Teachers never telling you "you better pay attention"
Or you gon' wind up in that juvenile detention
Naw
You was 23 with degrees
I was sleeping on the couch cause I can't be on the lease
I was getting drunk
You were learning how to love
I mean I was having fun
But it's lonely when you done
I got homies that are gone
Got holes in my lungs
You got married on an island in the middle of the summer
I'm sorry but it's true
All my life I just wanted to be you
Cause you look perfect and you don't try
And life goes by it's like you don't mind
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
And when you walk in we all stare
And they all watching but you don't care
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
It's like you never even worry
Always running late but you never even hurry
Everybody talking but you ain't ever listen
I swear it's like you know something we missing
I just wanna feel like you
I don't think you even care if people like you
I bet you good at everything you ever try too
Even when you ain't try
You never practice you ready when it's game time
And you a walking highlight
Bet you look at my life and you think
That you'd rather watch paint dry
I bet you never even lonely
Everywhere you go you be like everybody know me
I was staying home you was chilling with your homies
I always needed plans you were living in the moment
Gold and you know it
I'm sorry but it's true
All my life I just wanted to be you
Cause you look perfect and you don't try
And life goes by it's like you don't mind
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
And when you walk in we all stare
And they all watching but you don't care
I bet it'd be sweet if I could just be you
If I could just be you
If I could just be you
