Pat Benatar - Jimmy Says lyrics

Jimmy says, "do this.." Jimmy says, "do this.." I say, "i don't want to!" Jimmy says, "do this.." Jimmy says, "do this.." I say, "i don't want to!" Trying to make up my own mind Got my own direction to find! Yeah, i know jimmy's cool and everyone at school Usually does what jimmy does, without thinking - just because Jimmy says, "try this.." Jimmy says, "try this.." I say, "i don't need it!" Jimmy says, "try this.." Jimmy says, "try this.." I say, "i don't need it!" Sometimes it's just no fun To feel like you're the only one Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong But they're not my friends if they don't see That i don't like people pushing me! Hey man, what's the matter with you? Oh, come on! everybody's going! Chicken! Nobody's gonna know! What are you, scared? Everybody does it! come on! I might hang out with jim But i don't need to be just like him Got to listen to myself Cause you can't let someone else Always make your move for you! Got to find out what you want to do! Jimmy says, "try this.." Come on and try this! I say, "i don't need it!" Jimmy says, "come on, try this.." I say, "i don't need it!"
