Why can't I be the guy? I was just another selfish school aged boy Looking for another toy When I heard a voice I'd never heard before The girl that I'd been wishing for But how could I bring her near? How would I keep her here? Everyone wants to hold her (Athena) Give me the girl that's changin' my world Everyone wants to know her (Athena) Why can't I be the guy? Now I think about her every single day Ever since she came my way And I wish that I could hold her all the time That girl will never leave my mind Just look in ¸her sapphire eyes And you'll see the star filled skies Everyone wants to hold her (Athena) Give me the girl that's changin' my world Everyone wants to know her (Athena) Why can't I be the guy? Now I've spent my days driving around in Latrina And sleeping on scabies and eating Purina And wishing for some one to bring me a Venus And now I've seen her Everyone wants to hold her (Athena) Give me the girl that's changin' my world Everyone wants to know her (Athena) Why can't I be? Why can't I be the guy?
