I could have been your housewife baby

I could have been your cheerleader

And you could have been a rock star baby

You could have owned this world



But the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams

Said I want to teach you something I learned while I was king

Don't mistake what you want for what the universe needs

And he said I'd ruin your life you'd ruin my life that's all we could ever be

He said I'd ruin your life you'd ruin my life that's all we could hope to be



I could have had your rockstar babies

I could have drown them in the bath

I could have been your muse

I could have been your Sylvia Plath



But the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams

Said I want to teach you something I learned while I was king

Don't mistake what you want for what the universe needs

And he said I'd ruin your life you'd ruin my life that's all we could ever be

He said I'd ruin your life you'd ruin my life that's all we could hope to be



Now I'm a rockstar not a stupid housewife

Not a stupid cheerleader

And I want to thank you

I want to thank you

I want to thank you for leaving me
