The Cure - Why Can't I Be You Lyrics

[romanticgeek87]

sexy song.

[KittehGizmo]

Two thumbs up d(^-^)b

[jamesejudy3]

I remember the first time I heard this song in my friend Carmen's walkman... I was like "Hey! Where did this come from????? & why am I just hearing it for the first time!?!"

[TheSnoopy1750]

The Cure was just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Rock on Robert - you sexy fat bastard! :-)

[Simon4642]

@TheSnoopy1750 ohhh.if i had the cash to get to cinci...one of my disapointments in life...

[zimbabweanwarrior]

@TheSnoopy1750 nominated, not inducted =/

[TheSnoopy1750]

@zimbabweanwarrior True, sorry about that.

The Cure should belong in the R&R Hall of Fame. Robert Smith is a once-in-a-generation talent.

[beanorrivas]

Who ever knows this song from ryan sheklers almost part thumb up

[orenji97]

[esta49]

[moparman72rr]

Why can't I be you Robert Smith ... Well because there is only one and there will never be another one like you!

BRILLIANT!

[kwanza6669]

i love the cure! .. but that's such an awkward album cover.. 0.o

[TheBlazingPiano]

I think it's post-punk, but I'm not really sure :/

[mrgalaxia12]

@TheBlazingPiano its more new wave, actually its kinda pop song, but The Cure helped to the post punk scene, the gothic scene and alternative rock, they are one of that bands that influeced everyone

[SuPeRSTeEzY69]

Can any one tell me wut genre thi music is

[Rose13]

@SuPeRSTeEzY69 ALT Rock, and gothic rock. But also they were considered New Wave. I honestly assume this song is considered ALT rock because of the time this song came out. Hope that helped :D

[SuPeRSTeEzY69]

@Rose13 thanks man

[Rose13]

@SuPeRSTeEzY69 No problem



[GenialerT]

so why is this song just greaaaaaaaat!

[SoulOuranHighEater]

Who ever gave the time to dislike this song has some major issues!

[kittieasfixia]

como los amo enserio <3

[Afraid0fGhosts]

Robert is mine ok he made love to me....in my dreams lol

[Beerhero2783]

the cure the shit

[falloutparamore12]

even though it's not a love song, i'm just gonna pretend like it is.

and fall in love with robert. ok thanks bye.

[sk84darkstar2]

sweet song!

[ExpertiseGamer]

certainly sounds like a love song to me.

[ExpertiseGamer]

ryan sheckler.

[splinter360]

Seriously man. I can't explain in words how inspirational The Cure are.

[CannibAlice]

@chastonbaird I think of it as a very beautiful love song too :) And I think that songs are open to interpretation! ;)

[TinyAbii]

@chastonbaird It's about the world's obsession with celebrity and in particular fans of the cure's obsession with Robert Smith. It's about people who essentially wish they were him. A journalist/interviewer once asked him if he thought it was arrogant to write a song called 'Why can't I be you?' and he said 'No, it would be arrogant if it was called "Why can't you be me?"'

The man is a genius, but no, it's not a love song.

[TinyAbii]

@chastonbaird This isn't a love song darling.

[anarimus]

wanna get this for karaoke so i can sing it to my GF when i get right i can do a decent impersonation of Smitty.

[MrBellybub]

this is a good song i like it but can i ask why might the title screen show a baby in a diaper ha!!!

[sk8erdude454]

almost round 3 =)

[xX6RXxful]

fucking fail song

[legovideosrock]

@xX6RXxful Man then why the fuck are u here then?!

[LoveTheCureT00]

The photo behind the lyrics is Robert Smith of The Cure when he was a baby. Yes, "Why can't I be you" is on "Galore" but it's orginally from "kiss me kiss me kiss me"

[MentalSelfMutilation]

Does the singer in The Cure 'sing' this way in ALL his songs? I've only heard this one from them. And. what's their best song?

[anarimus]

@MentalSelfMutilation easily The Cure's most popular song is Lovesong followed by Friday I'm In Love but the best examples of Robert's singing would be off the Trilogy albums Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers he also does more serious songs on Wish, just look for clips here of The Cure Trilogy Live In Berlin. He intentionally sings this way on the "delirious" type songs but focuses on the serious ones.

[brismike65]

Video is great there is a vampire in it!

[broncofangj]

Old 80"s

[natwolffdraperlover]

i love this song!

[romobson]

@roxanneJD well, if you didn't knew it, that's the cover album from "Galore", on that album is this song (:

sorry for my english ^^

[mydriasys]

@romobson Actually "Galore" is just a "Best Of"-Compilation. The Song is on "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me". ;-) But great work anyhow! Like it!

[ToBeTwoSoulsAsOne]

@romobson Also, the baby on the "Galore" cover is actually Robert Smith when he was a baby :) 

[MrZlatilanac]

@romobson let me translate: Well, if you didnt know this song, it was from their cover album Galore. This song is from same album... thanks

[Puchi1959]

@roxanneJD I want you to know that this photo is the cover of one work of The Cure called "Galore-The singles".

[roxanneJD]

@Puchi1959 Ok, good to know!! I hadn't realised! I thought it was an other one but I guess that's limewire's fault! Thanks again!!
