Lyrics
The Fly
(Normand/Cage/Gentle/Saumure/Zentner)
I wish I could be a fly upon the wall
To see if your pretty face would light up or fall
Then I'd be there to hear
just what you would say
When you get the flowers I sent you today...
I wish... you could be mine
I wish I was a frog livin' in a pond
Just to see you swimmin' with no clothes on
On my big lily pad I'd pucker up for a kiss
Hopin’ I could be your fairy tale prince...
I wish... I wish you... I wish... you could be mine
I wish I could be a thought
that gets inside your mind
Then you could do my thinking
cause I'm not the thoughtful kind
If I could be your glasses
why then you could see through me
I would bring your full attention to things you cannot see...
I wish I was a novel, the kind you’d read in bed
Then I'd be there to comfort you
with words I wish I'd said
My spine may have been tattered
and my cover showing through (but at least)
Every time you'd turn the page I'd
get another look at you
I wish... I wish you... I wish... you could be mine
I wish you were a spider
in an abandoned garden shed
Then I could be a spider too
and get caught up in your web
Then the birds and the bees
well they'd have nothin' on me
Cause I'd have eight furry legs
and they’d all aim to please...
I wish... I wish you... I wish... you could be mine
