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
