how they want me to be

Singer:best coast

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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 me to be
