[Verse 1]
If I was a Beatle I'd sing about yesterday
If I was James Taylor I'd sing about fire and rain
If I was Elvis I'd sing about my shoes
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you

[Verse 2]
If I was Hank Williams it'd be about heartache and pain
If I was Tom Petty I'd sing about Mary Jane
If I was Ole Willie I'd sing about eyes that are blue
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you

[Chorus]
'Cause you are the perfect melody
You are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And sing about you

[Verse 3]
If I was Jimmy Buffett I'd sing about swimmin'
If I was a Stone it'd be about honky tonk women
If I was Ole Blue Eyes I'd sing fly me to the moon
But since I'm just me, I'd sing about you
[Chorus]
'Cause you are the perfect melody
And you are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And sing about you

[Bridge]
Layla, Amanda, Maggie May, and June
The only thing missin' is

[Chorus]
You are the perfect melody
And you are every note I'd sing
Every word I'd write
Even when I'm out of tune
All I can be is me
And I'd sing about you

[Outro]
All I care to be is me
Singin' 'bout you
You know I'd sing about you
