Like I Used To Lyrics - Hat Full Of Stars - Cyndi Lauper

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
