You might have been a villain
With a capital V
You might have had a plane to catch
And left your family
(Chorus)
It doesn't matter what you was
It's what you is
And what you is
Is what you are
You might have been a midwife
Trying to help somebody in
You might have been a Cardinal
With an A to zed of skin
Open up your window
Honey let me in
You might have been Columbia
Releasing orange 45s
(hot as steel)
You might have been the empress bee
In her furry little hive
(buzz buzz)
All the other bees
Chorus
Well you've got to come from somewhere
But you don't have to go back there, anymore
Hey!
You might have been the police
Knock knock knocking at the door
You might have been a nice young man
On a nice young floor
Chorus
One more, yeah
Chorus
You might be looking innocent
Deep inside you're not
You might be feeling guilty
Just a little not a lot
Chorus
Yeah!
Hey, hey hey
Hey, hey hey
Hey, hey hey
Hey hey
