Verse 1:
[D]I don't w[G]ant to [C]be in your [E] comp[A]any
[D]I don't n[G]eed y[C]ou to take [E] care of [A]me
Let me al[D]one, let me al[G]one, let me al[C]one, can't you l[E]et me [A]be
All I w[D]ant in this wo[G]rld is to [C] say I'm a m[E]an that's f[A]ree
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)
(repeat fuzz bass solo)
(repeat intro; end cold on A)
