I'd like to be the kind of dream you'd never share

To be your boss and to be your maid

Your shaving cream

Your razor blade

The buttons off your shirt, your favorite underwear

I'd like to be the only thing on Earth that makes you cry

The only thing that makes you happy

Soon you will see

That no one else but me can take you this high

And soon you'll make your last name mine

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one could ever refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Can't you see I've fallen for you?

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one would dare to refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Let me in, let me be your muse tonight

Tonight

I'd like to be the first white hair upon your head

To be your cherry pie, your daily bread

I'll cook for free

I'll make your bed

If I can know the things you thought I'd never said

I'd like to be the owner of the zipper on your jeans

And that thing that makes you happy

I'd like to be the beginning, the end, and the in-between

And be your slave and be your queen

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one could ever refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Can't you see I've fallen for you?

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one would dare to refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Let me in, let me be your muse tonight

Tonight

Tonight, toni-i-ight

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one could ever refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Can't you see I've fallen for you?

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that no one would ever refuse

Don't play the adamant

Don't be so arrogant

Let me in, let me be your muse tonight

Tonight

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) tonight

Tonight (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Let me in, let me be your muse

Be your muse tonight
