lyrics

You're so gorgeous
I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins

You're so perfect
You're so right as rain
You make me, make me, make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
'Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death

You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me, make me, make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked, I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue

You make me, make me, make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant
