Ideal Woman

I want you to be you Don't change because you think I might like you to be different I fell in love with you I don't want you blonde I don't want you not to swear Not to sweat It's you I fell in love with Your turn of phrase Your sensitivity Your irrational moods 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 just 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 sprawled on the pillow, a vision The murmuring breath The slight snore The slight snore I want you to be you
