[Verse 1]
All of my friends stick up their noses
They ask me where my money is
And where does it go once I've spent it

[Chorus]
But I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be

[Verse 2]
And even my own mother asks me a lot of questions
I tell her I don't wanna talk
But she doesn't stop, she's just wondering

[Chorus]
But I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be

I want you, you, you, you
I want you, you, you, you

Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
[Bridge]
Cause when I wake up in the morning
Or the middle of the night
I wonder who's there, and what they've said
Yeah, when I wake up in the morning
Or the middle of the night
I wonder who's there, and what they've said

But when I wake up in the morning
Or the middle of the night
I look at you and I know it's alright
I wake up in the morning
Or the middle of the night
I look at you and I know it's alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause you don't want me to be
How they want me to be
You don't want me to be
How they want me to be

[Chorus]
And I don't want to be how they want me to be
I don't want to be how they want me to be
You don't want me to be
How they want me to be
I don't want me to be
How they want they want me to be
