Joe Jackson - Don't Wanna Be Like That lyrics

Ok let me tell you 'bout some of the things i'm going through I know you think that you know but how do you know That what you know is true Well maybe it's time for getting out of line It seems like the done thing to do Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out Take me away i said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Now the c**aine dens says welcome You're in college now not in school But i'm sorry to say that i'm going out to work While you're going to the swimming pool Where the l.a. sun can turn your brains To scrambled eggs it's true Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out Take me away i said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Some people think that they know about some girls Some people think they're cool And some girls think they know about me Some girls think i'm some fool And american girls that put their tongue in your ear When they talk on the telephone And the stars only come out at night When the press and photographers moan and groan And the playboy centerfold leaves me cold And that ain't 'cause i'm a f*g So you playboys can just go play with yourself That's your style 'cause that's a drag Take me away i said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that
