I could have been your housewife baby nI could have been your cheerleader nAnd you could have been a rock star baby nYou could have owned this world nnBut the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams nSaid I want to teach you something I learned while I was king nDon’t mistake what you want for what the universe needs nAnd he said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could ever be nHe said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could hope to be nnI could have had your rockstar babies nI could have drown them in the bath nI could have been your muse nI could have been your Sylvia Plath nnBut the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams nSaid I want to teach you something I learned while I was king nDon’t mistake what you want for what the universe needs nAnd he said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could ever be nHe said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could hope to be nnNow I’m a rockstar not a stupid housewife nNot a stupid cheerleader nAnd I want to thank you nI want to thank you nI want to thank you for leaving me
