I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl I don't wanna be All caught up in your social scene I don't wanna be Be in your front seat, girl I know I'm your recruit But I ain't gonna follow suit You got Morrissey and Joy Division on CD But I don't go for them I can't move to that beat I like Marvin Gaye and Gospel music My soul and my heart But you call it noise You always spoil my favourite parts I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl I don't wanna be All caught up in your social scene You're skipping school 'cause it's cool But it's not for me I learned to dream I learned to read at this old academy You're out to make every man Your fleeting dream But I'm a one-man woman I'm all down with monogamy You cuss and curse So they think That you're rough and tough But I like Shakespeare And I find "dammit" heavy enough You like new age All the rage, philosophy But I don't read my palms I read the Psalms They speak to me I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl I don't wanna be All caught up in your social scene I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl It's not my scene All of the aristocracy It's not you Maybe I'm just too pedantic I'm a self-confessed Idealist and romantic You say, "Join the gang Be my yang and I'll be your yin" But try as I might I'm not your type, I don't fit in I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl It's not your fault And I send my apologies I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl You're a trip But I don't flip on your ecstasy I don't wanna be Be in your posse, girl Trust me, you'll see We're yin and yang, that's my prophecy Yin and yang (that's my prophecy)
