 I wish  that I could get up in the early  morning time,
 And things would fall  out of the sky into my lap,
 I wish  I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus  Rex,
 So that I wouldn't  have to deal with all this crap.
 I wish  that I'd been born with skin that turned  to golden brown,
 While at  the beach relaxing in the summer time,
 I wish  that I was good at football, baseball  and lacrosse,
 Darts and basketball,  and poker, golf and chess.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 I'm sorry that I wasn't able  to become,
  The man  you think I should aspire to.
 Small instrumental -
 I wish  I had the genes of Edwardo  Verastegui,
 That I was effortlessly  masculine as well,
 I wish  that confidence was all you could  see in my eyes,
 Like those interviews  in locker rooms with talented  sports guys.
 I wish  I had no self-awareness like  the guys I know,
 Who float  right through their lives without a thought.
 Or that  I didn't give a shit what anybody  thought of me,
 That I was so  relaxed you'd think that I was bored.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 I'm sorry that I wasn't able  to become,
  The man  you think I should aspire to.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 I'm sorry that I wasn't able  to become,
  The man  you think I should aspire to.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 I'm sorry that I wasn't able  to become,
  The man  you think I should aspire to.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 I'm sorry that I wasn't able  to become,
  The man  you think I should aspire to.
 I'm sorry that they didn't hand  it to me,
  On a silver  platter, like they did to you.
 Was that my other one?
