I'm not following you I got here first I'm not following you I don't understand what you're saying to me You're not paranoid Are you? Are you? I think you might be What's got into you? What's your problem? I think we need to sit down and talk about it There's something taken over me Something in my chemistry I can't put it into words But I can't take it There's someone out there on the street Something in the water I can't see what's going on I can't see past them I'm not following you I got here first I'm not following you I don't understand what you're saying to me You're not paranoid Are you? Are you? I think you might be What's got into you? What's your problem? I think we need to sit down and talk about it You've got to be kidding me You think I didn't see? Just before you blocked my view Someone taking aim! Don't tell me you're just passing by Don't say it's my imagination I don't trust a word you say You're all the same! Move, move, get out the way! What is it that you're hiding from me? Just when I think I know what's going on You move out the way, someone else comes along I'm not following you...

Walking down the same old streets And staring at the same old faces Getting in the same old cars And being driven to the same old places And all the while she tells herself That it's only for the summer months And all the time she hears the cries Coming from her only son Standing at the same old crossroads She repeats over and over "You can try all you want But you won't get me" Stumbling out the local bar He doesn't want to go home just yet He fumbles as he starts his car And he thinks of the girl he's going to get And every time it feels the same He'll call her by a different name He doesn't even share her shame As she repeats over and over "You can try all you want But you won't get me" Welcome to my world Welcome to my friends Welcome to my world The fun it never ends Walking out into the daylight Squinting at the morning sun She bears the scars she picked up last night Only done in the name of fun And she staggers home to see her boy She wants to hold her only joy She gets the call she didn't want And she repeats over and over "You can try all you want But you won't get him" Welcome to my world Welcome to my friends Welcome to my world The nightmare never ends

She was an outsider Never came in She lived unnoticed Never came in Straightforward hair Never came in She was an outsider Never came in She always stood apart She never came in Little girl lonely Never came in
