I Think I Can Play This Part

Tell me how'd ya like to be my kid Does that really sound so bad? Mark this down, I'm putting in my bid Lucky you Are one of the few Who get to chose their dad What you're looking for Is the stand-up, steadfast type Who's rugged strong yet sensitive and kind But a leading man With a sentimental stripe Plus charisma Is always hard to find Does that sound like anyone we know? Anyone we've met? Who can we get? I think I can play this part Though no one's ever got it right before I've a new interpretation And a lot of motivation And I seem to know my lines by heart I'm sure I can play this part You've been holding out For a white knight on a steed Who's dashing, handsome, filled with warmth and wit Who can make you laugh Sense of humor guaranteed Plus an ego And a smile that doesn't quit Can this world-class paragon be found? And who can he be? Sounds just like me I think I can play this part It's one that I've prepared for all my life I'll approach it with devotion Understanding and emotion Say the word 'cause I can't wait to start I'm sure I can play this part I'm a quick study And I love to rehearse And I feel a strong connection Tell me what you need from me I can take direction I'm burning to play this part And no one's ever longed to play it more It's a role that I'm so right for That I'm willing to fight for We can both create a work of art And I promise to stay for the run of the play I know I can play this part
