The Honeydrippers – Five Degrees Of Me lyrics

Miss Smiley has to deal with so much crap
But she’s too small to know where it’s at
She’ll keep her smile while all the while, all the while
Her life’s stored in her mental file

Miss Mousy seems to take a lot of crap
From those who have no idea where it’s at
She’ll walk her mile while all the while, all the while
Her life’s stored in her mental file

And she says:
If I could change the world I'd make it how I like it….
If I could change the world I'd make it how I like it….

I wouldn’t be afraid to go too far
I’d force the force of fate to raise the bar
My wounds would heal and I’d no longer scar
I wouldn’t be too short to reach the stars

Miss Ornery seems to think that life is crap
And doesn’t really care where she’s at
She tastes life’s bile while all the while, all the while
She tries to purge her mental file

Miss Confident is truly full of crap
And likes to pretend she knows where it’s at
She’s in denial while all the while, all the while
She hopes to purge her mental file

And she says:
If I could change the world I'd make it how I like it…
If I could change the world I'd make it how I like it…

I wouldn’t be afraid to go too far
I’d force the force of fate to raise the bar
My wounds would heal and I’d no longer scar
I wouldn’t be too short to reach the stars

Now Miss is Mrs. What-She-Is and won’t take any crap
And knows that no-one can define the “it” in where it’s at
She’s walked her mile, now all the while, all the while
She controls just what she files

And she says:
I can change the world to make it how I like it…
I can change the world to make it how I like it…

I’m not afraid to go too far
I’ll force the force of fate to raise the bar
My wounds have healed and I no longer scar
I’m still too short, but I can reach, I can reach…
I’m not afraid to go too far
I’ll force the force of fate to raise the bar
My wounds have healed and I no longer scar
I’m still too short, but I can reach, I can reach
I can reach the stars
