There's things I want There's things I think I want There's things I've had There's things I want to have Do I want the dreams The ones we're forced to see Do I want the perfect wife The word perfect ain't quite right Shopping every day Take it back the next break They say the more you fly the more you Risk your life I'm just looking I'm not buying I'm just looking keeps me smiling A house I seen another could'a been You drenched my head and said what I said You said that life is what you make of it Yet most of us just fake I'm just looking, I'm not buying I'm just looking, keeps me smiling
