Straight Jacket |
| Why, why can’t you be happy for me? |
| Now I’ve found someone who’ll put up with me |
| I’m no little girl, I’m the woman you raised |
| I need some answers, you got me fazed |
| With your prejudice |
| Was there something I missed |
| When you told me you love me? |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You won’t accept me without it though |
| You know it’s the one I’ve outgrown |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You’ll never close me in your brackets |
| Don’t you realise you’re out on your own? |
| Please, please understand my choice |
| Why you trying to stifle my voice? |
| I sympathise with the way that you feel |
| But time stops for no-one |
| And you’re standing still |
| And nothing grows under a shadow |
| I’m sorry, it’s not my story |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You won’t accept me without it though |
| You know it’s the one I’ve outgrown |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You’ll never close me in your brackets |
| Don’t you realise you’re out on your own? |
| I’m sorry that my life didn’t turn out as you meant |
| Nothing is an accident |
| It’s all just in the script |
| It’s something to accept |
| I know you won’t admit |
| You only hurt yourself |
| I can’t do this by myself |
| 'Cause we’ve been banging our heads |
| On the same piece of the same wall |
| At the same time |
| For far too long now |
| And nothing lasts forever |
| So what else is new? |
| You held us all together |
| We’re all waiting for you |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You won’t accept me without it though |
| You know it’s the one I’ve outgrown |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You’ll never close me in your brackets |
| Don’t you realise you’re out on your own? |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You won’t accept me without it though |
| You know it’s the one I’ve outgrown |
| You want me in your straight jacket |
| You’ll never close me in your brackets |
| Don’t you realise you’re out on your own? |
