Lyrics
Whatever
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.
He lives in his imagination, with those friends of his very own
He doesn't get along with the outside world, he'd rather be alone
Sometimes, when it's late at night, he starts to wonder why
(The plans he made can never happen, so all he does is cry).
His parents, they can't understand why their son, he turned out wrong
He runs away from all the pain and forgets them when he's gone
He'd rather be all by himself because his plans, they seem the best.
He finally gets the nerve one day and now life becomes a test.
Whatever you want,
whatever you do,
wherever you go,
whatever you say!
Whatever you want,
whatever you do,
wherever you go,
whatever you say!
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry
Mom and Dad, don't worry
I'm not the son you wanted, but what could you expect?
I've made my world of happiness to combat your neglect.
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry
Mom and Dad, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry!
Whatever you want,
whatever you do,
wherever you go,
whatever you say...
