I'm tired of being a fool And my mind going from hot to cool And trying to conform to others ideas And someone else's rules The life I'm living 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 some people are different Now ain't that a crying shame Now wouldn't 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 some people are different Now ain't that a crying shame Now wouldn't 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
