I Could Be That Guy
EDDIE:
[Sweaty Eddie.]
Sweaty Eddie!
All of my life, that's what they've called me, and that's what I've been
The blur in the background, the king of uncool
The first at the office, the last in the pool
And it's tuae
But what can I do?
Tell me, why can't she see there's much more to me deep within?
Picture a guy, a knight in rhinestone armor
Gleam in his eye, a zillion-watt smile
Sharp threads, moves that get 'em starin'
A turner of heads, cool beyond comparin'
Bringin' the pride with a spring in his stride, and a fistful of style!

And I…
I could be that guy
I could be the cock of the walk, and the talk of the town
Leadin' the pack when the action goes down!
Yeah, I –
I'll betcha I could set the world astir
If I only let myself try, well, I could be that guy –
For her

EDDIE/STREET PEOPLE:
Foolish, I know (oh, no!)
I've never been a charmer
(Charm her, charm her, charm her)
Just can't let go - (ooh - let go!)
But if I could
I would show 'em, but good
That I…
I could be that guy!
I could be the dude all in white, bathed in light on the floor
Livin' out loud as the crowd shouts for more!

Yes, I…
I could holler "yes!" to destiny!
Time to step out
No more fear, no more doubt
It's time to grow some wings and start to fly!

(Oh, I…)
Oh, I…
(I could be that guy)
I just gotta relieve
I just gotta, gotta
(I could be that guy)
Gotta believe
(I could be that guy)
Lf I'd only believe
(I could be that guy)
If i'd only believe
(I could be that guy)
That I…
Yes, I could be that guy!

I could be the cream of the crop set to pop!
All the rage!
Blistering hot in a spot center stage
Yes, I…
I got what it takes (hey!) to break away! (break away!)
EDDIE:
[Aw, who am I kidding? I’ll always be Sweaty Eddie to her.]

But before it's my time to die, hell, I will be that guy, someday
Ooh, maybe someday… maybe someday
