could I have  be-en,  a mil-llion-are in Bel-Air?

-9 -9 -9 +9*, -7 -7 -6* -6* +7 +7
could I have been, lost some-where in Pa-ris?

 * * *

-9 +10 +9* -9 -8 -8 -7* -7* -8
he stands, touch his hair, his shoes un-tied

-9 -9 -9 +9*
tongue gap-ing, stare

-10* +10 -9 +9* -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7*
could I have been a mag-net for mo-ney

-9 -10* +9* -9 -8 +9* -7* -8
twenty-tree and so tired of life

the i-ma-ges grow darker still

look up at the sky

-7 -7 +10 -7 -8 +9* -7
my mouth is open wide

-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7 -7 -7
lick and taste, what's the use in wor-ry-ing

-7 -8 -8 -8 -7 -7 -7
what's the use in hurrying

-7 -6* -7 -7 -7* -7* +7* -6* +9* -8
turn, turn we almost become dizzy

 * * *

-9 +10 +9* +9* -9 -8 -8 -8 -7* -8 -7 -8
I am who I am, who I am

-4 -8 -8 -7* -6*
well, who am I

-6* -10* +10 -9 +9* +9* +9* -7* -7*
requesting some enlightenment

-10* +10 -9 +9* +9* +9* +9* +9* +9* +9* -7* -7*
could I have been anyone other than me

-7* -7* -8
and then I'll

-10* -9 -9 -9 +9* -7 -7 -8 +9*
sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight

-7 -7 -8 +9* +7*
the thrill of it all

-10* -9 -9 +9 -8 -7 -8 +9*
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes

but I'll work it out
