Lyrics
Verse
I can't imagine what -- you think I'm s'pose to say,
Since you decided now, This just can't work no how, But I want you to stay
You want me to be her, Well, I'm not someone else, It's time you kicked your blues,
I can't fill empty shoes, I only know myself!
Chorus
Now, I - I can be that! I can be me, I'm perfectly free to lasso your heart on a trapeze
I - I can be that! There's no excuse for yesterday's news, I can be that!
Vs.
So, do you want to climb, Those mountains in your mind, Together we'll explore,
New highs and former lows -- Just us alone
It's sure to be a blast, If - we're not stuck in the past
I am a modern girl, Let's give this thing a whirl, Life goes by too fast
Ch.
Yeah, I - I can be that! I can be me, I'm perfectly free to lasso your heart on a trapeze
I - I can be that! There's no excuse for yesterday's news, I can be that!
Bridge
Losers, well they try but when they crash they only burn
Winners will always fly on the seasoned wings of "live and learn"
Ch.
Yeah, I - I can be that! I can be me, I'm perfectly free to lasso your heart onto a flying trapeze
I - I can be that! There's no excuse for yesterday's news, I can be that!
There's just no excuse for yesterday's news, I can be that! I'm that!
