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!

I agree completely with Bijou79- when I first heard this song, I immediately thought both Queen and the Scissor Sisters.

It's very catchy.

The song itself is actually Mika going against the music world if you go onto msn and look at the videos there.There are a few songs he performs live and he says when he wrote this it was against everything that the music industry represents!!! then he says he didnt imagine it doing so well in the charts.Fascinating though,i think he rocks!! brings a new style into the male solo and electro,,,,,lots of influences in there :)

okay i'm getting sick of people asking...Mika refuses to tell anyone what his sexuality is. He wont even say if he's straight. He doesnt think it should matter. It doesnt either...Mika is an amazing singer and a really cute guy. I went to his concert here in atlanta and it was amazing. Of course he sold out and the majority of the fans...if not all of them...were GAY. I partially believe my sister and I were one of the few straight ones there. he is amazing though, quite talented. His mom was there videotaping the show and she videotaped my sister and i dancing and singing along...then talked to us after the show a little. She's quite nice.

this song is purely amazing. I think I listened to it at least 10 times in a row. It really is similar to Queen in alot of ways. but I think Mika has his own thing going.

Well you gotta commend him for having the same voice (if not the talent) of Freddie Mercury! And yes he's gorgeous!

Although I might have read somewhere that he's gay. But anyhoo, I still love his songs because it reminds me of my fave band Queen!

"Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?"

HAHA I thought I must have been hearing things when I first heard that in the song, but a few skips back and I found out I was right..
I really really like this guy, he has given the perfect example that pop isn't a dirty word..

I love this song... It first came on our tape at the bath and body works i work at, and i thought "who is this?! it's amazing!" then i saw it on the preview for i now pronounce you chuck and larry, and i looked it up and discovered that I liked all of Mika's music.

I listened to this song constantly over the summer, and I have changed my mind so many times on what I think it means. I agree with the thing about the record execs, but on a little bit more shallow level...

It also seems like it could be a song about trying to impress the person you want to be with, and how far you should go for that approval.

whatever it means, it's awesome!

I dont know if it has already been said but I heard that the song is about an audition with Simon Cowell where he was told he was 'too weird'.

and I LOVE Mika...soo glad he had the third best selling single of the year in the UK :D

Mika has the Queen thing going on, but he also reminds me of Elton John and The Bee Gees.

When I first heard the song, I instantly thought of relationships. Then again, not all songs are about love, eh? But if it is about a relationship, then he's saying he can change himself for the girl... or guy, if he really is gay. He does NOT change, however, and asks why doesn't she/he like him.

To everyone who has said it reminds them of Queen:
"So I try a little Freddie"
As in Freddie Mercury, the singer of Queen.

i saw this video a looong time ago, and while the music isn't really my style, i gave it a listen since the vid caught my eye. immediately, his voice reminded me of Freddie Mercury. I at least gave him his due, the guy can sing like hell. Now, i caught a commercial for Big Girls, and remembered the way he reminded me of Mercury. Big Girls... "Fat Bottomed Girls" ??? Not knocking him, just found it funny. Could he be Freddie re-incarnated, lol ?

I love this song, and if it weren't for Josiah Lemming singing it on American Idol, I probably never would have heard it. It's a really great song with great lyrics and a fun melody.

Great and very positive energies in it.
I discovered it a gain when I recently saw "What happens in Vegas" where the song is featured.
I can't help but get in a good mood when I hear it.

I read that Mika wrote this song about "the industry" and about music, and producers, and popularity, and how superficial, etc, it all is. But you can take it personally too. I spent a long time, recently, trying to be the person who someone else wanted me to be - This song is about having a quick sulk about wishing you could be who someone else wants you to be, then telling them to screw off, because you are who you are.

I have to say, I never thought-- and don't think-- Freddie could mean anything BUT Freddie Mercury. And can anybody furnish an example of Fred Astaire dancing with Grace Kelly? I don't think they ever even acted together.

...in fact,

"The comparisons to Freddie Mercury are fine," the 23-year-old says. "They started long before I made the record - I've even referred to it in Grace Kelly."
