[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be
Well, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a possum, darlin'
I don't wanna be the one
Stayin' up late 'til early in the mornin'
I don't wanna be the one
Sneakin' in the covers
And wakin' to my lover gone
Love me in the daytime, darlin'
I don't wanna be the one
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be
Well, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a one-trick pony
I don't wanna be the one
Bored to tears when the circus empties
I don't wanna be the one
Searchin' for a party
There's always a party going on
Love me in the daytime, darlin'
I don't wanna be the one
[Bridge]
Love me in the daytime and
When the lights go down
We can spend the night together and
Sleep before the break of dawn
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna be a night owl no more
I don't wanna act a fool
I don't wanna be some big fish, darlin'
Swimming in a shallow pool
I don't wanna be the one
A lonely ne'er-do-well
And if you love me in the daytime, darlin'
If you love me in the daytime, darlin'
If you love me in the daytime
I hope I never will
