"I Don't Want To Be" lyrics
"I Don't Want To Be"
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't wanna be anything other
Than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by impostors everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!
I don't wanna be anything other
Than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation
Made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't wanna be anything other
Than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me
I don't wanna be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't wanna be, oh-oh
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be anything, anything other than me
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Boys Like Girls - "Love Drunk" Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit-and-run
And I still taste it on my tongue

The sky was burning up like fireworks

Kelly Clarkson - "I Do Not Hook Up" Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down
You got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes

But boys'll...
The All-American Rejects - "Dirty Little Secret" Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play

Her hair is always a mess
If you catch her stealing she won't confess
She's beautiful
Smokes a pack a day
Wait, that's me, but anyway
She doesn't care a thing about that, hey...
Neon Trees - "Animal" Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid
You're never satisfied
Here we go again
