Lyrics Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper

Like I Used To

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...
