Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot
(Wish I could be)
Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
Conduct my life like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
(repeat)(lyrics and music by James Seals and Brian Whitcomb, 1980)
From the album THE LONGEST ROAD (1980).
Only the faces change but, oh but the pain is the same when you're in love with love.
Just like a long lost friend who just stops to say hello and then is gone.
Always looking, always looking for the best thing in town.
Always needing, but never gettin', never enough to go around.
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there. No.
I keep changing the faces, but the love is not there.
Distant voices sometimes call, in the night I hear them all. Too bad they never knew.
Counterfeits and worthless fools, guess I broke all the rules to find my way to you.
But now I'm leaving, oh yes I'm leaving, I've got to find something new.
Now it's over, it's really over. Tell me what I'm gonna do. 'Cause
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the love, love, love is not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the love, love, love is not there.
(repeat)
La, la, la. . . (repeat chorus)
