Lyrics

I know you expected me To act just like a schoolgirl Followed your rules Just like a fool Wrapped up in your world What's good for you Don't mean that's so good for me What can I do, but hang around And lose myself just like I used to Go round and round just like a loose screw Well I ain't gonna walk With my heart in my hand And take things lying down like before Won't take your crap the way I used to Ain't gonna be the way it used to, Alright for you, ain't alright for me Maybe I was weak though the average Person probably thinks I'm stronger When I need someone else I shut out myself, Scared to say the wrong words What's right for you Don't think that's alright for me You spread the glue, so I can't move And stick to you just like I used to Go round and round just like a loose screw... Oh I ain't gonna walk With my heart in my hand... ...Ain't gonna do it like I used to Go round and round just like a loose screw Alright for you ain't alright for me, no Everytime you pust me down Everytime you screw me around Everytime you do that to me I'm my own possession I'm my own possession...
