Lyrics for Grace Kelly as interpreted by jonisofsparta

Grace Kelly Lyrics
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont yo like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

gigglepie951...

You're an idiot. You said Mika cant sing. OBVIOUSLY you've never taken singing lessons. Mika has what is called a wide vocal range. Meaning he can go from a Baritenor to full on soprano. He's actually a genius. Love Today was a very nice show off of that voice. Learn to recognize good music, okay? (not that I'm dissing your music because I've been through your site interaction...I realize you like some decent bands...but Mika's better).

this is a great song it always makes me feel like dancing.

basically i think it is about how he trys so hard just to impress a girl and get her to like him. he trys to be someone else and himself and nothing seems to work.

This song makes me feel happy and i love the way it sounds. Mika is a really good singer the only thing is that it doesn't sound natural for a guy to sing that high-pitched and falsetto.

Like many other people, I too thought that this was sung by Freddie Mercury as the vocal range and arragement of words are very similar, but soon realised the production and the 'sound' resembles nothing of Queen\Mercury. I think that the song is about Identity, both Grace Kelly and Freddie Mercury strived for fame and identity though both were ralativly shy. Also both have links to royality - Princess Grace of Monico and Freddie with his imaginary kingdom. Both also sufferd from Identity crises, Freddie - Homosexuality. Kelly - Marriage and the kingdom.

Whoa i would just like to clear one little thing if i may... Freddie wasnt gay, he was bisexual, he had a very close girlfriend called Mary Austin, he actually left everything to her when he died. He said himself "I couldn't fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary" i love freddie... and mika is great too =D

Rocky150, if you had done your research and followed Freddie Mercurys life a little closer you would understand that he chose to leave Mary Austin to persue a more constant homosexual lifestyle, as he prefered male partners, which resulted in a long term relationship with Jim Hutton. You may also like to take note that the idea of bisexuality is somthing he struggled with for a long time, re: the reason its suggested that he had an identity crisis. Like Mika, Freddie also would not disclose any information about his sexuallity. I hope this has inspired anyone to research this matter further.

I think everyone's pretty much got the meaning.

I just love the sound of this song. It's a little like queen, but so upbeat. Mika makes me happy.

There are a few lines at the end of the song left out of the lyrics. They consist of someone mumbling something that I can't make out, something like "Humphrey it's time to go home now," then Mika goes "whoo - ah / ka-ching!" What in the world is that weirdness about? It's funny as hell though.

I'm confused.

The lyric says "I can be hurtful / I can be purple."

To me, it sounds nothing like that. It sounds like "I can be happy / I can be peppy."

Anyway, this is an awesome song.

i have a completely different view of this song than most of you, this sounds a lot like something all of us have gone through at one point or another, we all want this one guy or girl to like us, so we try to be the kind of person that they like:

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?
(we all think like this at one point during a relationship, we are worried that we are too much of one thing or another and we wonder if we have anything in common with the person we are having a relationship with)

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?
(the guy can be anything that the girl wants, yet she still doesn't just like him, he has to try to get her attention)

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!
(he trys to act like diffrent people so she will notice him)

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
(the guy is telling the girl that he can be any kind of guy she wants him to be)
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
(he has to be almost every type of person to get her to like him)
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!
(the guy is saying that he is getting irritated that she doesn't like him and he would just like her to leave)

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
(he feels that he has no control over what she thinks of him)
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
(he likes her so much that he might do something drastic if she doesn't like him)
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
(she is insecure with herself so she doesn't go out with him)
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?
(should he do exactly what she wants, and be exactly who she wants him to be, should he seem older to her so she will like him more just to be ignored later)

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want
(she wants to do things to make her happy, but she goes and gets and does anything that is popular at the moment )

this is just my interpretation of the lyrics, probably not right, but thats what i think they mean

uhmm so i don't think anyone's said this, but before i read any of this stuff about the label pressure i thought this song was about schizophrenia or having multiple identities. it could totally apply, i guess that's just way off from the original intent though. i thought the whole chorus was dialogue between himself, "why don't you like me? why don't you walk out the door!"

haha.

^ He said in an interview that he doesn't want to go there.

And personally, I don't see why it matters. The guy has an amazing voice, gay or not.

Stoolhardy has a point. The final line from the woman "Humphrey, we're leaving" is really interesting. The first time I heard this, I thought of Humphrey Bogart - american movie star of the time of Grace Kelly and member of the Rat Pack. I can't make any further links about this though. Any ideas??

oh and Freddie has got to be Freddie Mercury, not Fred Astaire
