Glide (Lily Chou-Chou) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be just like a melody
Just like a simple sound like in harmony
I wanna be, I, I wanna be
I wanna be just like the sky
Just fly so far away to another place

[Chorus]
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, to be away from all
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, to be one-
Ooh, to be one of everything

[Verse 2]
I wanna be, I, I wanna be
I wanna be just like the wind
Just flowing in the air through an open space

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I wanna be, I, I wanna be
I wanna be just like the sea
Just swaying in the water so to be at ease

[Chorus]
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, to be away from all
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, to be one-
Ooh, to be one of everything
[Verse 4]
I wanna be, I, I wanna be
I wanna be just like a melody
Just like a simple sound like in harmony

[Outro]
I wanna be just like a melody
Just like a simple sound like in harmony

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
