Lyrics

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 likeTo 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
