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 believe it means that I want to anything for you, but if you say that I cant, then leave

" I think he was talking about Fred Astaire when he says "So I tried a little Freddie""

That's what I thought as well. But it could be referring to both since Freddie Mercury is rather similar to him but Fred Astaire would make more sense in the context.

And completely awesome song. Really catchy, too.

I love this song!!!!! I've heard that it's about record labels wanting him ot change, but when I first heard it I thought that it was about liking someone, but they want you to change who you are.

I didn't read all of the comments obviously, so I apologize if what I say is repeated.
Without having referenced Wikipedia (I saw that comment), I had always thought the line "So I tried a little Freddie/I've gone identity mad" had to do with Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad." The video for it shows none of the band members looking as they do -- Freddie just looks like a madman and makes the rest of them go mad -- Brian looks like a penguin, John is a joker, and I assume Roger is in the gorilla costume. It also goes with the song because he's changing personality. Along with the arm gesture Mika always does, the noise he makes after saying Freddie's name is something Freddie Mercury would do. Mika doesn't have as great of a vocal range as Freddie did, probably because he doesn't sing as low-pitched as Freddie did, but he is still an excellent vocalist and pianist (also like Freddie :P ). He has said he likes being compared to Freddie as would anyone, I think.

Now that I think about it, Mika does sound a lot like Freddie Mercury. I love this song, though; it's a very strong and optimistic song for the ones that feel out-of-place sometimes.
