Lyrics
WHAT I WANNA BE
by Dean Holtermann / Shannon Conley
I trade tools for toys , I play with girls and boys
sometimes I pay , sometimes it's free
I draw lines to confound, I paint outside I paint around
Some make sense others just don't see
WHAT I WANNA BE
IT'S AS PLAIN IN MY BRAIN AS THE NOSE ON MY FACE
CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S WHAT I WANNA BE
A seamstress , a songstress , I impress with a fake address
and I'm as real as you believe
WHAT I WANNA BE
IT'S AS PLAIN IN MY BRAIN AS THE NOSE ON MY FACE
CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S WHAT I WANNA BE
YEAH MAYBE IT'S STRANGE, IT'S THE PRICE THAT I'LL PAY
TO BE FREE OH YEAH IT'S WHAT I WANNA BE
I've played by your rules and I've hung by your noose
I've taken your drugs and your bad attitudes
I bought all your clothes and made some of my own
But I'll throw it all away
Yeah I'm happy just to play your game
I'm just a wanna be , I don't give a dam what you think
So make me , and break me , like the rules that I've forsaken
cause it's in the law of everything
WHAT I WANNA BE
IT'S AS PLAIN IN MY BRAIN AS THE NOSE ON MY FACE
CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S WHAT I WANNA BE
YEAH MAYBE IT'S STRANGE, IT'S THE PRICE THAT I'LL PAY
TO BE FREE OH YEAH IT'S WHAT I WANNA BE
