Ideal Woman

I want you to be you

Don't change 'cause you think I might like you to be different

I fell in love with you

I don't want you blond I don't want you not to swear, not to swept

It's you I fell in love with

Your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moves

Well maybe that could go

But everything else, I want you to be you

I want you to dance whenever you feel it up by the bandstand

In the parking lot up on the table

Well, maybe the table can go

But I want you to be you

I love what you wear 'cause you're wearing it

That shawl that clinging dress the svelte black jacket

Those leopard capris well, maybe not the capris

But I want you to be you

I love what you eat you want yogurt, you got yogurt

Papaya, it's yours chewing gum, chew away

I want you to be you

Spit out the gum, it doesn't work

When you sleep, you're the most beautiful

In the moonlight, your soft skin glows

Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision

The murmuring breath, the slight snore

The slight snore, I want you to be you
