"He who forgets, will be destined to remember..."

Mika - Grace Kelly

(I want to talk to you.
The last time we talked, Mr. Smith, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won’t happen again.)

Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty, am I too flirty, do I like what you like?
Yea I could be wholesome, I could be loathsome, ‘just I’m a little bit shy…
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too sad.
So then I try a little Freddie…I’ve gone identity mad.

I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky,
I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like.
Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more..
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me?
Why don’t you walk out the door!
(Getting angry doesn’t solve anything.)

How can I help it, how can I help it, how can I help what you think?
Hello my baby, hello my baby, putting my life on my brink.
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me, why don’t you like yourself?
Should I bend over, should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too sad.
So then I try a little Freddie…I’ve gone identity mad!

I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky,
I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like.
Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more..
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me?
..walk out the door..

Say what you want to satisfy yourself,
but you only want what everybody else says you should want… you want..

I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky,
I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like.
Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more..
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me?
..walk out the door!

I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky,
I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like.
Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more..
Why dont you like me, why dont you like me?
..walk out the door!

(Humphrey, we’re leaving.
Ka-ching!)

  12. tootie/devoted freddie fan

    mika is in my opinion the next freddie mercury. he hits the high notes with the same attack and force that makes them sound beautiful, and his singing style is quite similar.

    Thanks for showing the full lyrics. You’re the first I’ve come across that did.

    When he mentions Freddie, do you think he means Mercury? If so, he’s certainly got the voice for it.

    Cool song.

    When I heard this song I got goose bumps. Not that anyone wants to be stereo-typed, but Fredie M lives again.
    The moves, the voice, the song. The mantel has been passed on.
