Verso 1:
What's this I heard I've been told you weren't real with me
And if I'd known I would've gone, I would have set you free
Don't need you sticking around me
I don't need your pity
Don't need false compliments
As you can see, I'm self sufficient
No need to be worried
Refrão:
What's the matter with people these days
Never really meaning what they say
All this double talk, crazy talk getting in the way
What's the matter with people these days
Can't believe a word they say
All this smiling and profiling
Won't be lead astray
Verso 2:
And if I knew you weren't worthy of my companionship
I'd draw the line I wouldn't waste time
Wouldn't let you treat me unkind
Don't need you sticking around me
I don't need your pity
Don't need false compliments
As you can see, I'm self sufficient
No need to be worried
Refrão:
What's the matter with people these days
Never really meaning what they say
All this double talk, crazy talk getting in the way
What's the matter with people these days
Can't believe a word they say
All this smiling and profiling
Won't be lead astray
