I'd Rather Be You Lyrics

Oh yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer,
And I'll still be here until it's over,
No, no I never wanted to be closer,
But you'll be back, I could've told you.

Well I always knew,
Yes I could see it coming,
Your ambitious streak,
You always want things beyond your reach.
Well now you've got what you wanted,

And you're free to be the things
You always said you'd be,
You're up there looking down,
Tell me what do you see, oh.

‘Cos you know, you know I never wanted to be closer,
And I'll still be here until it's over,
No, no I never wanted to be closer,
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you.

Well it seems to me
That you've got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in,
It's dog-eat-dog and never give in.
Why worry when you're holding the aces,
Don't throw it away ‘cos you know
I'd rather be you than me,
Up there looking down,
Tell me what do you see, oh.

Hey Hey Yeah.

Oh yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted.),
And I'll still be here 'til it's over,
No, no I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted.),
Oh but you'll be back, I could've told you.

It's been a long time coming,
But at last we seem to be
Moving on, straight ahead,
We're finally getting something done.
Time flies and 'fore you know it
You'll be getting closer to where
You always knew you'd be,
Up there looking down,
Tell me what do you see, oh.

‘Cos you know, no, no I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted.),
And I'll still be here until it's over,
No, no I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted.),
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you.

Hey Hey Yeah…
