| You should have listened to what your mother said | |
| You should have listened to what your father told you to do | |
| But you always did just what you always wanted to do | |
| Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage | |
| And for half your life you were wishing you were half your age | |
| Lady let it lie | |
| It's hard putting down your family roots when you're living in | |
| A mobile home, but there's always blood even in a rolling stone | |
| You squeezed me hard for the white collar dream | |
| But you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and its choking me | |
| Lady let it lie | |
| Chorus | |
| All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys | |
| I don't want to be me no more | |
| All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world | |
| I don't want to be me no more | |
| They once said i was a rising star declaring me a bright contender | |
| When it all worked out i was just a pretender | |
| I could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfied | |
| But why you got to take it out on a guy that tried | |
| But surely there's something left, something worth fighting for | |
| Something out of all this mess that's worth building on | |
| Maybe we can start again, maybe give it one more try | |
| Or do we just walk away, and maybe fade and die | |
| Chorus | |
| All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys | |
| I don't want to be me no more | |
| All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world | |
| I don't want to be me no more | |
| I don't want to be me no more | |
| Me no more | |
