I, my, my, my, my

And I can live forever if I so desire, yeah
I'm unhappy with all the power I possess, yeah girl

You see I can take the season's change just by waving my hand, let me say I
I can change anything from old to new girl, oh I

But you see, I've been trying to call you all day long
But you see I don't have your phone number, honey, I
I've been, I've been, thinking about you baby, something awful
You see, I, oh I, sometimes I feel like I want to moan about it
And I, I don't just know what to say about it
