(If You Were) Less Like Me - The Cardigans

Good morning Joan

Now pick up your phone

It was bad but just a dream

And you are remembered

Put on something pretty

Go back to the city

In town the sky’s just space

No starlight in your face

Now forget about Mary

She says everything’s scary

She got locked inside her skin

Get near her, she’ll drag you in

I’d call on you if I could

If you were less like me I would

Listen to Eve

She’s got stuff up her sleeve

To her there’s no excuse

You’ve gotta use before you get used

Or talk to Louise

She knows all about freezing

She got lost in early May

And now it’s December

I’d call on you if I could

If you were less like me I would

Save you from this if I could

If you were less like me I really would

(Save you from this)

Spare us all this shit

But you’re all just like me so I quit!

My name is yours

Can I sleep on your floor

See, my heroes changed their minds

But I do remember

If I were less like you

And you were less like me

I’d call on you if I could

If I were less like you

(If I were less like you)

And you were less like me

(And you were less like me)

Save us from this, yes I would
