Wouldn It Lyrics - Yoko Ono

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine, 

Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile? 

Honey, I take sugar, two. 

While he's ranting an' raving, 

Could you pass that cream? 

I was looking to have a cupa tea. 

Instead I freeze. 

Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair? 

Or bushing my tush till there's no scream left? 

Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit? 

Mm - 

Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero, 

Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin? 

Brother, not that way, they'll take you away. 

Mm, give me your gun, 

It's no use to anyone. 

Instead I freeze. 

Seeing if I shut up and stay real still, 

Maybe he won't kill, at least not me. 

Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit? 

Mm - 

Wouldn't it be nice to be a star, 

Shinin' and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty? 

Being looked up with a telescope 

While my sister's busy cutting the rope. 

Daddy, you can't touch me, 

Mommy, you can't hate me, 

I'm a star, get it? 

Instead I froze. 

And I let them, I let them, 

I let them pick my brain, 

Twist my arm, 

Cut my throat 

And wish me dead. 

But I'm still thinking, 

Wouldn't it be nice to be a star? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit-wouldnit? 

Wouldnit?
