I Wish It Were Me

Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs


I built you a home in the country 
But you won't leave your coldwater flat 
I found you a Siamese kitten 
But you still like your alley cat 
Somehow, somewhere, somehow somewhere 
Somebody's warping your mind 
I wish it were me, I wish it were me 
I wish it were me, babe 

I bought you an ivory sports car 
But you won't crawl off of that bike 
I bought you some brand new dresses 
But you keep on wearing those tights 
Somehow, somewhere ... 

I bought you some patent leather slippers 
But you won't throw your sandals away 
I bought you a baby piano 
But your guitar you'd rather play 
Somehow, somewhere ... 

I bought you some diamond rings and things 
But you keep on wearing that junk 
I ordered you a stereo and some cool wax 
But you keep on digging that funk 
Somehow, somewhere ...
