And I'm tired of being a fool 
And my mind going from hot to cool 
And tryin' to conform to others' ideas 
And someone else's rules 
And the life 
I live ain't mine 
I'm supposed to feel that's fine 
I didn't make the world 
I'm living in 
And I ain't gonna toe the line 
I'm tired of trying to be something 
I know ain't me 
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be 
You know that some people are different 
Now ain't that a crying shame 
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same 
And I'm not going to try to please 
Eyes that just don't see 
If I get myself together 
You'll have the blues, not me 
I'm tired of trying to be something 
I know ain't me 
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be 
You know that some people are different 
Now ain't that a crying shame 
Now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same 
And I'm not going to try to please 
Eyes that just don't see 
If I get myself together 
You'll have the blues, not me 
You'll have the blues, not me
