Sing Like Bono

[Spoken:]

Why do you want me to sing like Bono?

Because Bono is the best singer in the world.

I know this beautiful voice, but I have my own voice.

Yes, but I think you should make the effort

as much as possible to be just lke him.

Only to please you?

Yes!

Okay...I will tr-, I will try, I will try.

I would appreciate that.

First time in island, having coffee and scones,

too late for me to remain on my own.

I was alone and she was hanging around,

I sung my romance with my macho stance.

She spoke in a whisper.

She told me "Sir, if you want me to stay,

you must sing like Bono."

I looked for an answer,

downstroke no more.

For such a sweet girl,

I would sing like Bono.

For such a sweet girl,

I would sing like Bono.

Singing....

Next time in island, I busk on the street,

guitar in hand on my own two feet.

Proud to be there, people run around

and the coins jingling in my case on the ground.

She spoke in a whisper.

She told me "Sir, if you wanna be my lover,

you must sing like Bono."

I looked for an answer,

downstroke1 no more.  

For such a sweet girl,

I would sing like Bono.

For such a sweet girl,

I would sing like Bono.

Playing...

Third time in island, a quiver in her voice,

she asked me for a song

and I have no choice.

Shivering slightly, I go for it bravely

with the newfound courage 

to keep my image.

She spoke in a whisper,

but she told me "Sir, 

if you want to keep me,

you must sing like Bono."

And I promised my calling

and I hope so,

one day, God willing, I would sing with Bono.

One day, God willing, I would sing with Bono.

One day, God willing, I would sing with Bono.

One day, God willing, I would sing with Bono.

One day God willing...

Ond day God willing...

One day God willing...

One day God willing...  

Oh, I would sing with Bono

Oh, I would sing with Bono

Oh, I would sing with Bono 

Oh, I would sing (hey!) Bono

Oh, I would sing with Bono
