Lyrics The Raspberries

The Raspberries

I Don't Know What I Want

My old man says success is the measure

Maybe so but I don't need the pressure

Not right now 'cause I got enough

Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains

Ask if I'm under some kind of strain

Well, that's too much and I really can't take it

They all say that I'm not getting younger

And I better make up my mind

Man, you'd think I was committin' some kinda crime

'Cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now

When I talk they just don't wanna listen

Then they push me to make some decision

I can't wait and they wonder why

Everyone says I've got no direction

They want me sent to a house of correction

That's too much when I really can't take it

When I try to relieve my frustration

Seems like nothing I can do is right

My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight

'Cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now

All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer

But I can't make a move when they wound my pride

When they say it must stop

[Incomprehensible] pull me

I don't know what to do

[Incomprehensible] a cell door

Some one give me a clue

'Cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now, I want it now

Oh, give it to me

Oh, yeah
