I wish I were Ben Kweller
Cause he writes those cool tunes 
And he uses those cool minor chords 
And you love the way he croons 
You love the way he plays guitar and the way he blows his harp
If I were Ben Kweller I know I could win your heart

I wish I were Ben Kweller 
Then I could be with you 
Cause he knows Juliana, girl And Evan Dando too 
He used to be in Radish Your favorite alternative band 
If I were Ben Kweller I know I could hold your hand 

I'd sit outside your window 
And sing the song that goes Sha Sha, Sha Doo 
Cause I wanna be with you 

I wish I were Ben Kweller 
Cause he writes those cool tunes 
And he uses those cool minor chords 
And you love the way he croons 
He used to be in Radish Your favorite sugar-metal band 
If I were Ben Kweller I know I could hold your hand
