Standard (EADGBE)
x3 (BassSlide down from )
I want you to be you
Don't change
(Stop)
Cause you think I might like you to be different
I fell in love with you
(Bass: , , , , , , , )
I don't want you blond
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 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
(Stop)
Well, maybe the table can go
But I want you to be you
(Bass: , , , , , , , )
I love what you wear cause you wear 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
Solo
x2
(Bass: , , , , )
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...
(Cha-cha-cha!)
Repeat: (in Salsa Rhythm)
When you sleep, you're the most beautiful
In the moonlight, your soft skin glows
Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision
(stop chords) (Bass: Bend E)
The murmuring breath, the slight snore
The slight snore...
I want you to be you
x3!
