about

A concept song in which Jon Arbuckle wishes he was cared for as much as he cares about Garfield 😭

lyrics

I was here before you were born,
Living out my days, I was so bored.
Nothing much to give me a purpose,
How could life get anymore worthless?

Then the day came when I first met you
I Had my eye out, (and) I had to get tou
You came to me right out of the left-field
Never the same when I found you, Garfield

I'm not a human
I don't know how to
I don't know what I
Would do without you
I'm not a human
This is how I feel
I may be Jon, but I w anna be Garfield.

Gave you a home with friendship to spare
Something I wish that I could also share
But truth told, life isn't that way
At least not mine, like I'm throwing it away
I give you all the love that you need
So why can't I get a some of the proceeds?
Please someone out there listen how I feel
Someone else besides Odie and Garfield?

I'm not a human
I don't know how to
I don't know what I
Would do without you
I'm not a human
This is how I feel
I may be Jon, but I wanna be Garfield.

(Chorus)
I'm not a human
I don't know how to
I don't know what I
Would do without you
I'm not a human
This is how I feel
I may be Jon, but I wanna be Garfield.

I wanna be Garfield.
Just wanna be Garfield.

Garfield:
Jon, this is Garfield.
I want you to know that all those years you talked to me like I could understand you... well, I could. I understood everything.

I'm sorry Jon but I have to go home now. Back to where I came from. You wouldn't understand but I must.

I know you think you can't do this without me but I believe in you, Jon.
Others may call you a loser but you are better than that. You just have to believe in yourself.

I will always appreciate what you did for me all those years. The warm bed, the love you showed me, and yes, the lasagna.

Listen Jon. Remember that I'm not really gone. I'm just out there, somewhere far away in the stars.
Goodbye my friend.
