(j. jett/g. kihn/k. laguna)
I dont believe you should live by the rules
I dont wanna listen when lifes so cruel
Were not sorry for the things that we do
And my advice to you ow
I never listen to things they say
Cause what you hear gets in the way
Im not gonna be on your side
If I find that you lied ow!
When you talk to me, be straight
When I take you home, be straight
Anyone can do what they wanna do
If you wanna please, be straight (be straight)
Everybody needs a should to cry on
And I got one that you can rely on
If you wanna know my opinion
It dont matter what youve been in, yeah
When you talk to me, be straight
When I take you home, be straight
Anyone can do what they wanna do
If you wanna please, be straight (be straight)
If you wanna please, be straight
If you wanna please, be straight, be straight
