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
