 Struggling with Coz I Can? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I could be anything
You want me to be
Cook you nice dinners
And then gently rub your feet
I could be a perfect wife
And be your slave for life
But I won't, no I won't

I could be the sweetest thing
You think you've ever seen
Dress up in skimpy clothes
All to fulfill your dreams
I could do anything
To show how much you mean
But I won't, no I won't

Chours:
I'll be a fly in your soup
The one that's always in your face
Try to wave me away
I'll be right back on your case
I'm the stain on your suit
Yeah, the one you can't replace
Just because I can
I'll be the itch on your back
On a spot that you can't reach
I'm the reason you crack
Yeah, I'm like a bad disease
Just because I can
Just because I can

I could be the mistress
Who says she doesn't care
And I'll keep on smiling
When you're treating me like air
I could be your best friend
The one who's always there
But I won't, no I won't

Chours

I am gonna be the thing in your head
Keeping you awake at night in your bed
And every time you feel you're losing control
Remember I'm the one who dug you that hole
Just because I can

I can be the things you want
But I won't
