I'd Like to Have a Problem Like That
Yearning for Richer Troubles: I'd Like to Have a Problem Like That
Lyrics
I'm not a wealthy man, don't pay for my suntan
I don't have a lot of money and don't pay for luxurious things like tanning.
I work out in the heat and the cold
I work in various weather conditions, both hot and cold.
Sometimes I'd like to be the big, bad wolf
Sometimes, I wish I could be someone powerful or dominant.
'Stead of just another sheep in the fold
Instead of being ordinary, just like everyone else.
I hear the rich man holler 'bout the shrinking dollar
I hear wealthy people complain about financial issues.
And cry about a luxury tax
They complain about taxes on luxurious items.
They won't let him write off his lil' eighty-foot yacht
A rich person can't get tax deductions for their extravagant possessions like an eighty-foot yacht.
I'd like to have a problem like that
I wish I had problems related to wealth like theirs.
Yeah, I'd like to have a problem like that
I wish I had problems like deciding between buying expensive cars.
Should I buy the Porsche or the stretch Cadillac
Deciding between speed or luxury in driving.
Do I wanna drive fast or just ride around in the back
I wish I faced such dilemmas.
I'd like to have a problem like that
I saw a celebrity talkin' on the T.V.
I watched a famous person speaking on TV.
He looked like a tall Tom Cruise
He resembled a taller version of Tom Cruise.
He's seeing Sheila and Bambi, Linda and Candy
He's involved with multiple women, living a fast-paced life.
They're burning both ends of his fuse
His lifestyle is exhausting him.
He says he's suffocating, he needs a vacation
He feels overwhelmed and desires a break from the excessive affection and attention.
From all the kissing and hugging, the sweet talk and loving
I wish I had relationship problems like his.
I'd like to have a problem like that
Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that
I wish I had issues like managing multiple relationships.
Be a one-man woman juggling act
Struggling to stay committed to one person while handling others.
How many can you keep in the air before you lose track
Managing numerous relationships without losing track.
I'd like to have a problem like that
I'd like to be too rich, I'd to be too thin
I wish I had problems related to being too wealthy or too thin.
I'd like to be too young, I'd like to be too in
Desiring to be too young or too trendy.
Should I kiss and tell, write a book on my life
Debating whether to disclose intimate details publicly.
And how much can I get for the movie rights
Considering profiting from sharing my life story in a movie.
Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that
Be a tabloid star at the checkout rack
Wishing I had problems associated with being a gossip magazine sensation.
Should I drag 'em through court
Deciding whether to handle issues through legal proceedings or ignore them.
Or tell 'em to kiss my fax
Choosing between legal action or dismissing them casually.
I'd like to have a problem like that
Give me those problems
Wanting these kinds of problems because I believe I could handle them.
I think that I could solve 'em
Confident in my ability to solve such issues.
I'd like to have a problem like that
I desire these kinds of problems in my life.
