Lyrics
Freak Out! Version
FREAK OUT! version - Yeah! / Got no place to go / (I'm tired of walking / Up and down the street all by myself) / No love left for me to give / (I tried and tried / But no one wants me the way I am) / Why should I pretend I like / To roam from door to door / Maybe I'll just kill myself / I just don't care no more / Because / I'm not satisfied / Everything I've tried / I don't like the way / Life has been abusing me / Yeah! / Yeah! / Who would care / If I was gone / (I never met no one / Who'd care if I was dead and gone) / Who needs me / To care for them / (Nobody needs me / Why should I just hang around?) / Why should I just sit and watch / While the others smile / I just wish that someone cared / If I was happy for a while / Because / I'm not satisfied / Everything I've tried / I don't like the way / Life has been abusing me / Yeah!
CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS version - Got no place to go / No love left for me to give / Why should I pretend I like / To roam from door to door / I guess that I'll just kill myself / I just don't care no more / I'm not satisfied / Everything I tried / I don't like the way / Life has been abusing me / Who would care if I was gone? / Who needs me to care for them? / Why should I just sit and watch / While the others smile? / I just wish that someone cared / If I was happy for a while / I'm not satisfied / (I'm not satisfied) / Everything I tried / (Everything I tried) / I don't like the way / (I don't like the way) / Life has been abusing me / I'm not satisfied / (I'm not satisfied) / Everything I tried / I don't like the way / (Everything I tried) / Life has been abusing me / (I'm not satisfied) / I'm not satisfied / (Everything I tried) / Abusing me . . . / (I'm not satisfied) / I'm not, I'm not satisfied / (Everything I tried) / I'm not satisfied / (I'm not satisfied) / I-I-I . . . / (Everything I tried)
FZ:OZ version - Got no place to go / (I'm tired of walking / Up and down the street all by myself) / No love left for me to give / (I tried and tried / But no one wants me the way I am) / Why should I pretend I like / To roam from door to door / Maybe I'll just kill myself / I just don't care no no no more / Because / I'm not satisfied / Everything I've tried / I don't like the way / Life has been abusing me / Who, I said who would care / If I was gone / (I never met nobody / Who'd care if I was dead and gone) / Who, I said who needs me / To care for them / (Nobody needs me / Tell me why should I just hang around?) / Why should I just sit and watch / While the others smile / I just wish that someone cared / If I were happy for a little while / Because / I'm not satisfied / Every little thing I've tried / I don't like the way / Life has been abusing me
