           Desperate times call for desperate measures,
and desperate desires lead to desperate pleasures.
C#m
You know?
             Bm
Oh yeah, you know don't you?

Oh no, you don't, do you?

(Repeat chords from verse)
Won't you teach teach teach me if you can.
How to [beat more guys up by the hand].
Who needs class when you got money?
Well I've got cash, but you've got everything else.

---Chorus:---
E
Well you can call me crazy, but I heard that sells.
A               C#m
Oh, why can't I be you?
A             C#m
Oh, how can I be you?
Bm                           
Oh, it's so easy for you to be
just what everyone wants to be.
E
So, why not me?
Tell me, why not me?
Tell me!

---Repeat INTRO---

(and now repeat from verse)
Well look look look who's laughing now?
Well it's me-e-e, but not too loud.
I won't make it on my own for long, dear.
I'm doing anything to just hold on here.
It's true, it's true,
that I could just walk a mile in another man's shoes.
Oh, why can't I be you?
Oh, how can I be you?
Oh, it's so easy for you to be,
just what everyone wants to be.
So, why not me?
Tell me, why not me?
Now listen to me, listen to me,
you're what I should be, what I could be.
So what do you say, what do you say?
I'm willing to pay, begging to pay.
Now what'll it take, what'll it take,
to get me a break, give me a break?
Oh what can you do, what can I do,
to make you like me, make me like you?
Why can't I be you?
Oh, how can I be you?
Oh, it's so easy for you to be,
just what everyone wants to be,
the -- things never stop haunting me,
you can make it look so easy!
Why not me?
Tell me!
Why not me?
Oh, tell me!
Why, not me?
