I'm tired of being a fool
My mind's going from hot to cool
Tryna come on to all the people's ideas
And somebody else's rules
The life I'm living ain't mine
I'm supposed to think that's fine
I didn't make this world I'm living in
And I ain't going to toe the line
I'm tired of tryna be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what others expect of me
I know some people are different, now, ain't that a crying shame?
Wouldn't it be a tragedy if we were all the same?
I ain't gon' try to please
Eyes that just can't see
If I ever get myself back together again
You'll have the blues, not me

You gon' have the blues, not me
You gon' have the blues, not me
You gon' have the blues, not me
You'll have the blues, not me
'Cause I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
You'll have the blues, not me
