I Want To Be

WANNA BE YOUR TEACHER
AND YOUR STUDENT
YOUR LOVER
AND YOUR FRIEND
AN ADMIRER
OR A CRITIC
YOUR MECHANIC
AUTO MEND

I CAN FIX A VACUUM CLEANER
DARN A HEM, OR SWEEP
WILL PICK THE DOG'S "EXPRESSIONS"
FROM THE YARD THAT I WILL KEEP

OR IS IT ALL ABOUT THE ASSETS
WHICH ONE'S DO YOU REQUIRE
IF IT'S MONEY THAT'S IMPORTANT
MY BANKBOOK'S A HOUSE AFIRE!

THOUGH TRUTH IS NEVER SALVAGE
AND HUMOR'S ON THE LIST
AND ONCE I SAY I'LL BE THERE
NO OTHER WOMAN WILL I KISS

I POSSES ALL OF THE TREASURES
THAT CAN'T BE HELD UP IN YOUR HAND
THOUGH IT TURNS OUT THAT THOSE MEASURES
ARE THE ONE'S THAT MAKE THE MAN
