I'd Rather Be You
Ooh, 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, oh
'Cause 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 'cause you know
I'd rather be you than me up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh, oh
Hey, hey, yeah
Ooh, 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)
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 before 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, oh
'Cause you know
No, no, I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
I'll still be here until it's over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, 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, oh
'Cause 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 'cause you know
I'd rather be you than me up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh, oh
Hey, hey, yeah
Ooh, 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)
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

You'll be getting closer to where
You always knew you'd be up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh, oh
'Cause you know
No, no, I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
I'll still be here until it's over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah
