Lyrics

Hey, hey
If you were me, if you were me
You wouldn’t talk so casually

If you were me, if you were me
You’d make believe you understand, and that you see
If you were me, if you were me

You see me one place
And you think you know me, baby
No need to read the story, ‘cause you’ve
seen the cover

Always say “if I were you”
And proceed to tell me just what you would do
How to get rich quick, and how to find the chicks
Thinking you’re so clever

Hey, hey
If you were me, if you were me
You wouldn’t talk so casually

If you were me, if you were me
You’d make believe you understand, and that you see
If you were me, if you were me

You do things one time and you
Think you know it all down to an art
You find me so naive
That you constantly patronize (patronize!)

Always say “if I were you”
How ‘bout ya piss off? That’s what I think you should do
Never asked for advice, not when yours is so trite,
Do it yourself then, if you know better

Hey, hey
If you were me, if you were me
You wouldn’t talk so casually

If you were me, if you were me
You’d make believe you understand and that you see
If you were me, if you were me

Not cuttin’ my hair, don’t tell me what to wear, no
Think I ain’t got the skills, but I’m still paying my bills, oh
Keep the free advice, you can go take a hike, oh
Aw… yeah
Hit ‘em with the key change, uh

Hey, hey
If you were me, if you were me
You wouldn’t talk so casually

If you were me, if you were me
You’d make believe you understand and that you see
If you were me, if you were me

You see me one place
And you think you know me, baby
No need to read the story, ‘cause you’ve
seen the cover

Stop saying “if I were you”
You’re not. You can take a seat, too
It’s great that you got a plan; no I don’t give a damn
‘cause you ain’t me! Nah, you ain’t me

Hey, hey
If you were me, if you were me
You wouldn’t talk so casually

If you were me, if you were me
You’d make believe you understand and that you see
If you were me, if you were me
