I Could Change

I could change for you
I could I could
I could be bad instead of good
wear black instead of white
trash my alarm clock
and party all night
I could get a mohawk and a belly button ring
if that would do the trick
give up the cheerleading squad
and call in sick
I could tell my parents to go to hell
throw meatloaf at my brother and say
"this shit is stale!"
I fell for you
when I read what you wrote
they fit my heart
like a London Fog coat
I wanna ride on your hog
and smoke blunts
and maybe even eat shrooms
spray graffitti on the walls of cheap motel rooms
I'll be your desert rose
and I'll never wilt
I'll try hedonism on for size
and dispense with guilt
I've been straight for sixteen years
a shoo in for Sabrina the Teenage Witch
or Britney Spears
no more days of the week panties for me
it's Frederick's of Hollywood time
if you're a tree
I'm ready to climb
