“Why Can’t I Be You (Extended Mix)” is one of several pre-existing remixes compiled on Mixed Up (as opposed to the remaining remixes that were done in 1990). It was remixed by François Kevorkian and originally released in 1987 as the “12 Inch Remix”.
[Intro]
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
[Interlude]
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry again
Why can't I be you?
Why...
Can't I...
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
[Verse 1]
You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You're so perfect, you're so right as rain
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry again
[Chorus 1]
Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
[Verse 2]
I'll run around in circles until I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful, too good to be true
You make me...
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you
[Chorus 2]
Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you? (Why can't I?)
Why can't I be you?
[Verse 3]
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked, I'm cooked, I'm stuck like glue
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you
[Chorus 3]
Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why?
[Bridge]
Why?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
[Outro]
Why can't I be you?
Why?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
You're simply elegant
