Lyrics The People I'm Not - Ariel Pink

The People I'm Not

Hey!
People, they talk a lot about it
But they don’t have a clue
What it means, it’s true
I am one of those jealous little guys
Who will try to beat you all day
But people, I’m not that way
I’m not that-
People think you can have it all
And people find other people
Who have what they don’t
I am one of those egomaniacs
Who know just what to say
But people, I’m not that way
I’m not that-
Ey!
Drop that little handbook
And take him off the street, no
Cast him in a special
On Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
him at the same
Cast him in a special
Down town
Ooh
Ooh-aah
He who tries to make a point
Misses the point every time
And every time I hit the nail on the head
It’s my heart that beats ice
I am one of those cold-hearted guys
Who say love is a weakness, babe
But people, I’m not that way
Hey, let’s get nervous
There’s a button on your shoulder
And I’m pushing it over and over
Hey, kid, what’s your name?
Hey, huh, the people I’m not
Hey, let’s play gin
(Okay)
I’m gonna love you if you play
But I’ll hit you if you win
'Cause it’s my game
(Who the hell are you anyway?)
Well, the people I’m not
Okay, losers win
It’s your turn
There’s a button on your shoulder
And I’m pushing it over and over
You make use of my time
The people I’m not
Okay, let’s get nervous
(You get nervous)
I’m gonna love you if you play
But I’ll hit you if you win
It’s my game
It’s my game
(Just as calm you down now)
The people I’m not
Okay, let’s play gin again!
There’s a button on your shoulder
And I’m pushing it over and over, over
Huh, the people I’m not
Okay, losers win
It’s your turn
You love to win
Don’t you win
It’s my game, game
The people I’m not
Let’s get nervous
There’s a button on your shoulder
And I’m pushing it over and over
Listenin'?
Who the hell are you anyway?
The people I’m not
