Verse 1:
D G C E A
I don’t want to be in your company
D G C E A
I don’t need you to take care of me
D G C E A
Let me alone, let me alone, let me alone, can’t you let me be
D G C E A
All I want in this world is to say I’m a man that’s free
Verse 2:
People talk about the way I look
I say come on and say it, I got enough to write a book
But don’t they know, don’t they know, don’t they know it’s a waste
of breath
‘Cause I don’t wanna be like them, all I want is to be myself
(Lemme hear you play it one time now)

Verse 3:
Don’t try to force your smuggled drugs my way
‘Cause baby, I cleansed my soul and I say that’s the way it’s gonna stay
But you can put me down, all around, on the ground, anyway you choose
Get your kicks with your fix, but this time I know it’s you who lose
(Lemme hear you play it one more time)
