I Don't Wanna Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everyone's talking about
Being tied down
And they're so unhappy
They say this married life
Is just not for me
They say they'd give anything
To be living wild and free
Well I am
Oh yes I am
And I don't wanna be
They say their husbands don't mow the lawn
Until he's asked
And he doesn't ever offer anymore
To take out the trash
They say they'd rather be alone
Oh but if they were they'd see
'Cause I am
Oh yes I am
And I don't wanna be
They say the grass is always greener
On the other side
But if I had someone to love
Then I'd be satisfied
I would never take for granted
Something so hard to find
Someone in my life
So if you've got a good love tonight
Please don't let him go
Unless you really are prepared
To live life on your own
'Cause it hurts to be in bed tonight
Holding onto nothing but a dream
'Cause I am
Oh yes I am
And I don't wanna be
It hurts to be in bed at night
Holding onto nothing but a dream
'Cause I am
Oh yes I am
And I don't wanna be
'Cause I am
Oh yes I am
And I don't wanna be
