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.

All of my friends stick their nose up

Ask me where my money is

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 them 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
