Lyrics

I Want 2 Be U

[Verse 1]

I want to be you

To do the things you do

And you want to be me

Because you think I'm free

[Chorus]

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]

Always searching for another high

Tryna catch up with lost time

Time to laugh before we cry

Time to live before we die

I want to be you

To do the things you do

[Verse 3]

The love of fear, the fear of love

In our bones, in our blood

You are me as I am you

Truth is nothing but a point of view

I want to be you

To do the things you do

[Chorus]

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-La la-la-la-la
