Songtext
0:06Why why can't you be happy for me
0:11Now I've found someone who'll put up with me
0:17I'm no little girl I'm the woman you raised
0:20I need some answers you got me fazed
0:23With your prejudice
0:24Was there something I missed
0:26When you told me you love me
0:31You want me in your straight jacket
0:34You won't accept me without it though
0:37You know it's the one I've outgrown
0:42You want me in your straight jacket
0:46You'll never close me in your brackets
0:49Don't you realise you're out on your own
0:58Please please understand my choice
1:05Why you trying to stifle my voice
1:09I sympathise with the way that you feel
1:12But time stops for no-one
1:13And you're standing still
1:15And nothing grows under a shadow
1:18I'm sorry it's not my story
1:23You want me in your straight jacket
1:26You won't accept me without it though
1:29You know it's the one I've outgrown
1:34You want me in your straight jacket
1:38You'll never close me in your brackets
1:41Don't you realise you're out on your own
1:49I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant
1:54Nothing is an accident
1:57It's all just in the script
2:00It's something to accept
2:03I know you won't admit
2:05You only hurt yourself
2:08I can't do this by myself
2:12'Cause we've been banging our heads
2:15On the same piece of the same wall
2:18At the same time
2:19For far too long now
2:21And nothing lasts forever
2:25So what else is new
2:28You held us all together
2:31We're all waiting for you
2:36You want me in your straight jacket
2:39You won't accept me without it though
2:42You know it's the one I've outgrown
2:45You want me in your straight jacket
2:50You'll never close me in your brackets
2:53Don't you realise you're out on your own
2:58You want me in your straight jacket
3:02You won't accept me without it though
3:05You know it's the one I've outgrown
3:10You want me in your straight jacket
3:13You'll never close me in your brackets
3:16Don't you realise you're out on your own
Why why can't you be happy for me Now I've found someone who'll put up with me I'm no little girl I'm the woman you raised I need some answers you got me fazed With your prejudice Was there something I missed When you told me you love me You want me in your straight jacket You won't accept me without it though You know it's the one I've outgrown You want me in your straight jacket You'll never close me in your brackets Don't you realise you're out on your own Please please understand my choice Why you trying to stifle my voice I sympathise with the way that you feel But time stops for no-one And you're standing still And nothing grows under a shadow I'm sorry it's not my story You want me in your straight jacket You won't accept me without it though You know it's the one I've outgrown You want me in your straight jacket You'll never close me in your brackets Don't you realise you're out on your own I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant Nothing is an accident It's all just in the script It's something to accept I know you won't admit You only hurt yourself I can't do this by myself 'Cause we've been banging our heads On the same piece of the same wall At the same time For far too long now And nothing lasts forever So what else is new You held us all together We're all waiting for you You want me in your straight jacket You won't accept me without it though You know it's the one I've outgrown You want me in your straight jacket You'll never close me in your brackets Don't you realise you're out on your own You want me in your straight jacket You won't accept me without it though You know it's the one I've outgrown You want me in your straight jacket You'll never close me in your brackets Don't you realise you're out on your own
