Intro
(1) Sometimes
I wish that I was the weather
you'd bring me up in conver (2) sation forever
and when it rained
I'd be the talk of the day
(1) Sometimes
I wish that I was a cold beer
I'd rest assured that you would ho (2) ld me near you
I'd be guaranteed to be just what you need
(3) And there could be no other way
cause you're so vain
Your tired words are all the same
(4) I would surely walk away
if I wasn't such a sucker for you
(1) Sometimes
I wish that I was a bong hit
You'd let me in and (2) love every minute
and tell the room
the things I did to you
(3) And there could be no other way
cause you're so vain
Your tired words are all the same
(4) I would surely walk away
if I wasn't such a sucker for you
(5) I see your world with rosy colored glasses on
what a right would i see wrong
I could never have that power over you
(1) Someday
I'm gonna pack up and leave this town
I'm gonna get my (2) own place going on
and when I do
I'll forget about how
(3) you're so lame
your tired words are all the same
I would walk, you know I'd away
if I (6) wasn't such a sucker for you
I wasn't such a sucker for you
I wasn't such a sucker for you
