Why?

Why would I want to be like you
When I was born to shine?
Why would I do the things you do
When there are things that could be mine?
Why would I want to sit around all day
When I could be having fun?
Why would I go inside to stay
When I could be out in the sun?
Why would I want to be as good as you
When I could be as good as me?
Why would I do what you want me to
When I could do what pleases me?
Why would I want to be like you
When I am one of a kind?
Why would I want to be like you
When I was born to shine?
