Lady Let It Lie

You should have listened to what your mother saidYou should have listened to what your father told you to doBut you always did just what you always wanted to doNow you end up here singing in a gilded cageAnd for half your life you were wishing you were half your ageLady let it lieIt’s hard putting down family roots when you’re living inA mobile home, but there’s always blood even in a rolling stoneYou squeezed me hard for a white collar dreamBut you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and it’s choking meLady let it lieChorus:All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boysI don’t want to be me no moreAll the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround worldI don’t want to be me no moreThey once said I was a rising star declaring me a bright contenderWhen it all turned out I was just a young pretenderI could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfiedBut why you got to take it out on a guy that triedChorus:All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boysI don’t want to be me no moreAll the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround worldI don’t want to be me no moreBut surely there’s something left, something worth fighting forSomething out of all this mess that’s worth building onMaybe we can start again, maybe give it on more tryOr do we just walk away, and maybe fade and dieChorus:All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boysI don’t want to be me no moreAll the boys want to be all the igrls in this turnaround worldI don’t want to be me no moreI don’t want to be me no moreMe no more
