Don't Wanna Be Like That Lyrics - Live At Rockpalast - Joe Jackson

Okay let me tell you 'bout 

Some of the things I'm going through 

I know you think that you know 

But how do you know 

That what you know is true 

Well maybe it's time for getting out of line 

It seems like the done thing to do 

Some people get crazy 

Some people get lazy 

Some people get hazy 

Some people get out 

Take me away I said take me away 

I don't want to be like that 

Don't want to be like that 

Now the cocaine dens says welcome 

You're in college now not in school 

But I'm sorry to say that I'm going out to work 

While you're going to the swimming pool 

Where the L.A. sun can turn your brains 

To scrambled eggs it's true 

Some people get crazy 

Some people get lazy 

Some people get hazy 

Some people get out 

Take me away I said take me away 

I don't want to be like that 

Don't want to be like that 

Some people think that they know about some girls 

Some people think they're cool 

And some girls think they know about me 

Some girls think I'm some fool 

And American girls that put t 

Heir tongue in your ear 

When they talk on the telephone 

And the stars only come out at night 

When the press and photographers moan and groan 

And the Playboy centerfold leaves me cold 

And that ain't 'cause I'm a fag 

So you playboys can just go play with yourself 

That's your style 

Cause that's a drag 

Take me away I said take me away 

I don't want to be like that 

Don't want to be like that yo
