I want to take his place!

Quanta sinceridade e determinação para uma música só! Linda!

Jonathan Richman - I´m Straight

I called this number three times already today
But I, I got scared, I put
It back in place, I put my phone back in place
I still don't know if I
should have called up

Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I had
never even called up this place.
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place
So this phone call today conerns hippie Johnny
He's always stoned, he's never straight

I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny
But I'm straight
and I want to take his place
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm proud to say
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place

Now I've watched you walk around here
I've watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
tell me, why can't they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?

I'm straight and I want to take his place
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm
I'm straight and I want to take his place
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I'm straight!)
Tell the world now
(I'm straight!)
I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah I'm straight and I want to take his place.
