LYRICS

Don’t baby don’t believe that I won’t
Say what I got to say
And baby don’t think it’s fine
To mess with my mind
Every time you decide to stand in my way
Don’t baby don’t believe that I won’t
Play when I got to play
And baby don’t think it’s fine
To mess with my mind
Every time you decide to stand in my way

I’ve seen where I wanna be
Got no one trying stopping me
I do what I wanna do
Don’t wanna be like you
I’ve seen where I wanna be
Got no one trying stopping me
I do what I wanna do
Don’t wanna be like you

I’ve been looking for a place to go
Everywhere I know
It’s just the same old thing
Just different faces staring back at me
Nothing new to see
It’s just the same old thing
I’ve been looking for a place to go
Everywhere I know
It’s just the same old thing
Just different faces staring back at me
Nothing new to see
It’s just the same old thing

You had your way
Better gone than belong to what was yesterday
Rude or subdued
Never knew what was true
Or who would undo our thing

Cause I understand a compliment
I appreciate his cause
I think that me and him are just the same
Cause I live by my own rules
And I’ll never be just what you see
Please don’t try to label me
I have to speak my mind not stand in line
Cause I live by my own rules

I’ve been looking for a place to go
Everywhere I know
It’s just the same old thing
Just different faces staring back at me
Nothing new to see
It’s just the same old thing
I’ve been looking for a place to go
Everywhere I know
It’s just the same old thing
Just different faces staring back at me
Nothing new to see
It’s just the same old thing

I don’t entertain people who try to say
That they play the game
They’re all the same
