Verse I
You wanna’ be more important than you are
You wanna’ live like some kind of rock star
You wanna’ be Tiger Woods and under par
But you’re not
You wanna be underworked and over payed
You wanna be the sugar in the lemonade
You wanna be anything except a spade
But you’re not
You wanna be the lightning you wanna be the rain
You wanna be slightly less insane than you really are
Chorus
You wanna pull the wool over one more time
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna be trusted not to drop a dime
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna bring me down when I am doing fine
But it ain’t gonna happen
You’re a little too illiterate to read my mind
So it ain’t gonna happen
Verse II
You wanna school me but you have no class
You wanna be more than just a passing fad
You wanna be the other side with greener grass
But you’re not
You wanna be the daughter of some kind of king
You wanna be the carats in a diamond ring
You wanna be the melody you hear me sing
But you’re not
You wanna be the footsteps that they follow in
You wanna be the drug that keeps ‘em jonesin
Chorus
You wanna pull the wool over one more time
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna be trusted not to drop a dime
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna bring me down when I am doing fine
But it ain’t gonna happen
You’re a little too illiterate to read my mind
So it ain’t gonna happen
Bridge
I could school you and I could fool you
But I’m too cool to be bothered with you
I could school you and I could fool you
But I’m too cool to be bothered with you
Check this out
You wanna be the lightning you wanna be the rain
You wanna be slightly less insane than you really are
Chorus
You wanna pull the wool over one more time
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna be trusted not to drop a dime
But it ain’t gonna happen
You wanna bring me down when I am doing fine
But it ain’t gonna happen
You’re a little too illiterate to read my mind
So it ain’t gonna happen
(repeat)
