I could have been your housewife baby    I could have been your cheerleader    And you could have been a rock star baby    You could have owned this world       But the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams    Said I want to teach you something I learned while I was king    Don’t mistake what you want for what the universe needs    And he said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could ever be    He said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could hope to be       I could have had your rockstar babies    I could have drown them in the bath    I could have been your muse    I could have been your Sylvia Plath       But the ghost of Elvis came to see you in your dreams    Said I want to teach you something I learned while I was king    Don’t mistake what you want for what the universe needs    And he said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could ever be    He said I’d ruin your life you’d ruin my life that’s all we could hope to be       Now I’m a rockstar not a stupid housewife    Not a stupid cheerleader    And I want to thank you    I want to thank you    I want to thank you for leaving me
