+Ever since I was a kid in school
+
+I messed around with all the rules
+
+Apologized, then realized
+
+I'm not different after all
+
+Me and the boys thought we had is sussed
+
+Valentino's all of us
+
+My dad said we looked ridiculous
+
+But, boy, we broke some hearts
+
+In and out of jobs, running free
+
+Waging war with society
+
+Dumb, blank faces stared back at me
+
+But nothing ever changed
+
+Promises made in the heat of night
+
+Creepin' home before it got too light
+
+I wasted all that precious time

+I was only joking, my dear

+Never found a compromise
+
+Collected lovers like butterflies
+
+Illusions of that grand first prize
+
+Are slowly wearin' thin
+
+Susie, baby, you were good to me
+
+Giving love unselfishly
+
+But you took it all too seriously
+
+I guess it had to end

+Now you ask me if I'm sincere
+
+That's the question that I always fear
+
+Verse seven is never clear
+
+But I'll tell you what you want to hear
+
+I try to give you all you want
+
+But giving love is not my strongest point
+
+If that's the case, it's pointless going on
+
+I'd rather be alone
+
+'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
+
+Pouring my heart out in a song
+
+Owning up for prosperity
+
+For the whole damn world to see
+
+Quietly now while I turn a page
+
+Act one is over without costume change
+
+The principal would like to leave the stage
+
+The crowd don't understand
