You should have listened to what your mother said |
|
You should have listened to what your father told you to do |
|
But you always did just what you always wanted to do |
|
Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage |
|
And for half your life you were wishing you were half your age |
|
Lady let it lie |
|
It's hard putting down your family roots when you're living in |
|
A mobile home, but there's always blood even in a rolling stone |
|
You squeezed me hard for the white collar dream |
|
But you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and its choking me |
|
Lady let it lie |
|
Chorus |
|
All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys |
|
I don't want to be me no more |
|
All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world |
|
I don't want to be me no more |
|
They once said i was a rising star declaring me a bright contender |
|
When it all worked out i was just a pretender |
|
I could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfied |
|
But why you got to take it out on a guy that tried |
|
But surely there's something left, something worth fighting for |
|
Something out of all this mess that's worth building on |
|
Maybe we can start again, maybe give it one more try |
|
Or do we just walk away, and maybe fade and die |
|
Chorus |
|
All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys |
|
I don't want to be me no more |
|
All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world |
|
I don't want to be me no more |
|
I don't want to be me no more |
|
Me no more |
