| Why, why can't you be happy for me? | |
| Now I've found someone who'll put up with me | |
| I'm no little girl, | |
| I'm the woman you raised | |
| I need some answers | |
| You got me fazed with your prejudice | |
| Was there something | |
| I missedWhen you told me you love me? | |
| You want me in your straight jacket | |
| You won't accept me without it though | |
| You know it's the one | |
| I've outgrown | |
| You want me in your straight jacket | |
| You'll never close me in your brackets | |
| Don't you realize you're out on your own? | |
| Please, please understand my choice | |
| Why you trying to stifle my voice? | |
| I sympathize with the way that you feel | |
| But time stops for no one and you're standing still | |
| And nothing grows under a shadow | |
| I'm sorry, it's not my story | |
| You want me in your straight jacket | |
| You won't accept me without it though | |
| You know it's the one | |
| I've outgrown | |
| You want me in your straight jacket | |
| You'll never close me in your brackets | |
| Don't you realize you're out on your own? | |
| I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant | |
| Nothing is an accident, it's all just in the script | |
| It's something to accept, | |
| I know you won't admit | |
| You only hurt yourself, | |
| I can't do this by myself' | |
| Cause we've been banging our heads | |
| On the same piece of the same wall | |
| At the same time for far too long now | |
| And nothing lasts forever, so what else is new? | |
| You held us all together, we're all waiting for you | |
| You want me in your straight jacket | |
| You won't accept me without it though(You won't accept me) | |
| You know it's the one | |
| I've outgrown(It's the one I've outgrown) | |
| You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket) | |
| You'll never close me in your brackets[Incomprehensible] | |
| Don't you realize you're out on your own?(On your own) | |
| You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket) | |
| You won't accept me without it though(Please, please) | |
| You know it's the one | |
| I've outgrown | |
| You want me in your straight jacket(Oh no) | |
| You'll never close me in your brackets(Oh no) | |
| Don't you realize you're out on your own? |
