You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me
Make me, make me, make me hungry again
Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?
I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

A Admiração Incondicional em Why Cant I Be You?' do The Cure
A música 'Why Can't I Be You?', da banda britânica The Cure, é uma expressão vibrante de admiração e desejo, embalada pelo som característico da banda que mistura elementos do post-punk e do new wave. A letra, repleta de exclamações e interjeições, transmite uma intensidade emocional que é típica do estilo lírico do vocalista e principal compositor, Robert Smith.
Através das repetições e do uso de hipérboles, como 'I'll do anything' e 'You're so perfect', a canção explora a temática do fascínio e da obsessão por outra pessoa. O refrão 'Why can't I be you?' revela um desejo profundo de não apenas estar perto do objeto de admiração, mas de se tornar essa pessoa, refletindo uma mistura de inveja e idolatria. Essa ideia pode ser interpretada tanto no sentido literal quanto metafórico, sugerindo uma vontade de possuir as qualidades admiráveis da outra pessoa ou, em um nível mais profundo, uma crise de identidade e a busca por um ideal inatingível.
Musicalmente, 'Why Can't I Be You?' é animada e dançante, contrastando com o tom melancólico de muitas outras canções do The Cure. A energia contagiante da música complementa a letra apaixonada, criando uma atmosfera que é ao mesmo tempo eufórica e angustiante. A canção se destaca no repertório da banda por capturar a complexidade das emoções humanas, onde a admiração pode ser tão avassaladora que leva a questionamentos existenciais sobre a própria identidade.
