Personality Crisis

Well, we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speech
Hoping for a better day
To hear what she's got to say
All about that personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
But now, frustration and heartache
Is what you got
(That's why they talk about personality)
(Personality)
But now, your tryin' to be something
Now, you got to do something
Wanna be someone who counts
But you think about the times you did
They took every ounce
When it sure got to be a shame
When you start to scream and shout
You got to contradict all those times you butterflyin' about
(You were butterflyin')
About that personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot you know it's frustration
And heartache is what you got
(I've gotta talk about personality)
And you're a prima ballerina
On a spring afternoon
Change on into the wolfman
Howlin', at the moon, hooowww
About that personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot you know it's frustration and
Heartache is what you got
(That's why they always talk about personality)
Now, with all the crossin' fingers
That mother nature says
Your mirrors getting jammed up
With all your friends
That personality
Everything is starting to blend (?)
Personality
When your mind starts to blend
Got so much personality
Impression of a friend of a friend
Of a friend of a friend of a friend
Personality, wonderin' how celebrities ever mend
(Lookin' fine on television)
Personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot you know it's frustration and
Heartache is all that you got
Ohh, don't you worry
Personality crisis
Please don't cry
It's just a personality crisis
Please, don't stop
Because you walk a personality
Talk a personality
