Why, why can't you be happy for me? | |
Now I've found someone who'll put up with me | |
I'm no little girl, | |
I'm the woman you raised | |
I need some answers | |
You got me fazed with your prejudice | |
Was there something | |
I missedWhen you told me you love me? | |
You want me in your straight jacket | |
You won't accept me without it though | |
You know it's the one | |
I've outgrown | |
You want me in your straight jacket | |
You'll never close me in your brackets | |
Don't you realize you're out on your own? | |
Please, please understand my choice | |
Why you trying to stifle my voice? | |
I sympathize with the way that you feel | |
But time stops for no one and you're standing still | |
And nothing grows under a shadow | |
I'm sorry, it's not my story | |
You want me in your straight jacket | |
You won't accept me without it though | |
You know it's the one | |
I've outgrown | |
You want me in your straight jacket | |
You'll never close me in your brackets | |
Don't you realize you're out on your own? | |
I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant | |
Nothing is an accident, it's all just in the script | |
It's something to accept, | |
I know you won't admit | |
You only hurt yourself, | |
I can't do this by myself' | |
Cause we've been banging our heads | |
On the same piece of the same wall | |
At the same time for far too long now | |
And nothing lasts forever, so what else is new? | |
You held us all together, we're all waiting for you | |
You want me in your straight jacket | |
You won't accept me without it though(You won't accept me) | |
You know it's the one | |
I've outgrown(It's the one I've outgrown) | |
You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket) | |
You'll never close me in your brackets[Incomprehensible] | |
Don't you realize you're out on your own?(On your own) | |
You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket) | |
You won't accept me without it though(Please, please) | |
You know it's the one | |
I've outgrown | |
You want me in your straight jacket(Oh no) | |
You'll never close me in your brackets(Oh no) | |
Don't you realize you're out on your own? |
