I Wish It Were Me Lyrics

I built you a home in the country
But you won't leave your coldwater flat
I found you a Siamese kitten
But you still like your alley cat
Somehow, somewhere, somehow somewhere
Somebody's warping your mind
I wish it were me, I wish it were me
I wish it were me, babe
I bought you an ivory sports car
But you won't crawl off of that bike
I bought you some brand new dresses
But you keep on wearing those tights
Somehow, somewhere ...
I bought you some patent leather slippers
But you won't throw your sandals away
I bought you a baby piano
But your guitar you'd rather play
Somehow, somewhere ...

I bought you some diamond rings and things
But you keep on wearing that junk
I ordered you a stereo and some cool wax
But you keep on digging that funk
Somehow, somewhere ...
