I'd Rather Be You Lyrics - Genesis

Ooh yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer 

I'll still be here until it's over 

No, no I never wanted to be closer 

But you'll be back, I could have told you 

Well, I always knew 

Yes, I could see it coming 

Your ambitious streak 

It always want things beyond your reach 

Well, now you've got what you wanted 

And you're free to be the things 

You always said you'd be 

You're up there looking down 

Tell me what do you see, oh 

'Cause you know, you know I never wanted to be closer 

And I'll still be here until it's over 

No, no I never wanted to be closer 

Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you

Well, it seems to me 

That you've got to fight for yourself 

In this world we live in 

It's dog eat dog and never give in 

Why worry when you're holding the aces 

Don't throw it away 'cause you know 

I'd rather be you than me 

Up there looking down 

Tell me what do you see, oh 

Hey hey yeah 

Ooh yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer 

(Never wanted) 

And I'll still be here 'til it's over 

No, no I never wanted to be closer 

(Never wanted) 

Ooh, but you'll be back, I could've told you 

It's been a long time coming 

But at last we seem to be 

Moving on, straight ahead 

We're finally getting something done 

Time flies and 'fore you know it 

You'll be getting closer to her 

You always knew you'd be 

Up there looking down 

Tell me what do you see, oh 

'Cause you know, no, no I never wanted to be closer 

(Never wanted) 

I'll still be here until it's over 

No, no I never wanted to be closer 

(Never wanted) 

Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you 

Hey hey yeah 

Hey hey yeah
