Verse 1:
   D        G      C          E     A
        I don't want to be in your   company
        D        G    C          E         A
        I don't need you to take   care of me
                 D             G             C               E     A
        Let me alone, let me alone, let me alone, can't you let me be
               D             G         C            E          A
        All I want in this world is to   say I'm a man that's free
Verse 2:
   People talk about the way I look
        I say come on and say it, I got enough to write a book
        But don't they know, don't they know, don't they know it's a waste
             of breath
        'Cause I don't wanna be like them, all I want is to be myself
   (Lemme hear you play it one time now)

Verse 3:
   Don't try to force your smuggled drugs my way
        'Cause baby, I cleansed my soul and I say that's the way it's gonna stay
        But you can put me down, all around, on the ground, anyway you choose
        Get your kicks with your fix, but this time I know it's you who lose
   (Lemme hear you play it one more time)
