nobody taught me about the birds and bees 
or where they go when it’s time to leave 
nobody took me to a church on Sundays 
they say you get what you see 

so all that I know is 

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to 
than I should 
I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be 
around 

I don’t listen to the news no more 
I just ride my bike to the liquor store 
a place for everything, and everything in place 
it’ll go on as it did before 

so all that I know is 

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to 
than I should 
I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be 
around 

I’d go along if I could only believe 
what do you see, what do you see? 
the stakes are high and the talk is cheap 
I know what I see 
I know what I see 

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to 
than I should 
I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be 
around 

I don’t need to be around 
I don’t need to be around 
I don’t need to be around
