I don't want to be in your company

I don't need you to take care of me

Let me alone, let me alone,

Let me alone, can't you let me be!

All I want in this world is

To say I'm a man that's free



People talk about the way I look

I say come on and say it,

I got enough to write a book

But don't they know, don't they know,

Don't they know it's a waste of breath

'Cause I don't wanna be like them,

All I want is to be myself

Lemme hear you play it one time now



Don't try to force

Your smuggled drugs my way

'Cause baby, I cleansed my soul

And I say that's the way it's gonna stay

But you can put me down,

All around, on the ground,

Anyway you choose

Get your kicks with your fix,

But this time I know it's you who lose



Lemme hear you play it one time now
