lyrics

Lyrics:

It didn't take you long
To do me wrong
And didn't take long
For me to write this song.

I guess it must be true
What they say about you
And now it's time to see
If I can really be free...

chorus:
I wish I was still the Robotman
I wish I was still the Robotman
My mind and my body locked up in a can
My brain gone insane like the boy in the man.

I wish I was still the Robotman
I wish I was still the Robotman
Wish I could go back to the time it began
When things were so easier, d'ya think that I can?
Oh yeah...
Oh yeah...

Now the future's here
(And) That time is past
And you won't come near
'Cause I'm built to last
Now's it's oh so clear
All I used to fear
Are no longer here
'Cause I disappeared.

I wish I was still the Robotman
I wish I was still the Robotman
My mind and my body locked up in a can
My brain gone insane like the boy in the man

I wish I was still the Robotman
I wish I was still the Robotman
(Now) My life is so happy and I need you no more
I guessed I never did, wish I knew it before...
Oh yeah...
Oh yeah...
Oh yeah...
Oh yeah...

I wish I was still the Robotman (repeats to fade)
