If I Could Be... lyrics - Meredith Brooks

If I could be a little birdie

I would fly so high I'd not be hurt

When I got tired I'd hang out in a tree

If I could be a fish that swam

I would use my fins and go so fast

Nobody would ever catch me

But I really wouldn't wanna be

Anything else but me

I only wanna pretend in my daydreams

That I could be an alligator

They'd all jump back, I'd say see ya later

And I would have the pond just for me

If I could be a big white dog

I would bark and jump on everyone

And they'd all pat my head and give me treats

But I really wouldn't wanna be

Anything else but me

I only wanna pretend in my daydreams

That I could be a little bug

I would hide and spy on everyone

And nobody would know that it is me

It's just me

Hey, it's me
