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
