lyrics

Be Pop

I wanna be pop and still rock
I wanna have my cake and sell it too
I want to do taboos and booze
how about you?

I wanna make art for myself
I wanna live a long life of love and health
I wanna flip right outside of myself
I wanna be pop and still rock

But the more I say the less I play
Some people think my tunes are risqué
I wanna be that I wanna be this
but I need to be yours

I wanna pour my heart in-
to a cocktail glass for you to drink
with a splash of Kalua now the sewa' doesn't stink
everything is grand when you stand there winkin'

and I'm thinkin' I'm pop or was for a moment
as time goes on all this poppin' causes my head
to inflate and deflate so I rock it out instead
I hate to be mislead

I wanna be pop and still rock
