R. Stevie Moore - I Wish I Could Sing Lyrics

[Verse 1]I wish I could singLullabies to youCan you teach me how?All I do is talk a melodyBut it don't come out a rhapsody[Chorus]Cover up your ears if you canYou don't know how bad I am[Verse 3]I wish I was BingYoung at 24Entertaining nowWhen I try to sing a melodyThey all throw tomatoes at me[Chorus]Listen to Sinatra and seeGod didn't give that to meI escaped the draft by my earI told them I couldn't hear(What'd you say?)[Chorus]Tony Orlando won't teach meNobody thinks they can reach me(I wonder why... oh)[Verse 3]I wish I could singOn the radioI could teach me howAll I do is talk a melodyBut it don't come out a recipe[Outro]I wish I could sing lullabies to youI wish I could sing lullabies to youI wish I could sing just as good as youI wish I could sing harmonies for you
