Lyrics
You call me Mr. Wonderful, but do you know why?
I don't even vaguely resemble that guy!
So why do you perceive this to be all about me?
When what I feel is quite the contrary
You say I don't have it, but you can't say why
You never even saw the plan that we devised
Why does it trouble you if the spotlights on me?
When that actually makes me feel quite ornery
What else is it you want me to be?
I will not live my life normally
You just wait and see
This will all work out quite wonderfully
For Mr. Wonderful and his anonymity
So, Look at him! Isn't he cool?
What he does totally rules!
Please don't fill me with all that bull
I'm not your Mr. Wonderful!
You call me Mr. Wonderful but I won't live that lie
Trying to live this dream I will not deny
Why have you not gone for yours publicly?
When you had everything right in front of thee
What else is it you want to be?
You have lived your life normally
You just wait and see
This will all work out quite substantially
For Mr. Wonderful and his anonymity
Hey! Look at him! Isn't he cool?
What he does totally rules!
Please don't fill me with all that bull
I'm not your Mr. Wonderful!
I'm not your Mr. Wonderful!
