No time for the movie show, TV, or the radio Gotta write a symphony, end it with some poetry Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No time for geometry, 'rithmetic, or history Gotta write a song from my heart, then pick the greatest work of art Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No time to do the Twist, don't mind all the things I miss Gotta write a melody, write it from the heart of me Tie it with a ribbon made of gold and give it to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday Yes, Cindy's happy birthday...
Saturday, steppin' into the club Somebody wanna tell DJ to turn it up I feel the energy all around And my body can't stop moving to the sound
But I can tell that you're watching me And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see Well I just need a little space to breathe Can you please respect my privacy
Why can't you just let me Do the things I wanna do I just wanna be me I don't understand why Would you wanna bring me down If I'm only having fun I'm going live my life (not the way you want me to)
[Chorus] I'm tired of rumors starting I'm sick of being followed I'm tired of people lying Sayin' what they want about me Why can't they back up off me Why can't they let me live I'm gonna do it my way Take this for just what it is
Here we are back up in the club People taking pictures Don't you think they get enough I just wanna be all over the floor And throw my hands up in the air to the beat like (What?)
I've gotta say respectfully I would like it if you take the cameras off of me Cause I just want a little room to breathe Can you please respect my privacy
Why can't you just let me Do the things I wanna do I just wanna be me I don't understand why Would you wanna bring me down If I'm only having fun I wanna live my life (not the way you want me to)
[Chorus]
I just need to free my mind (my mind) Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time)
I'm tired of rumors (rumors) Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)
What they (follow) me Why can't they (they they they-they-they) let me live
Take this for just what it is
[Chorus]
I'm tired of rumors starting I'm sick of being followed I'm tired of people lying Sayin' what they want about me Why can't they back up off me Why can't they let me live I'm gonna do it my way Take this for just what it is
We had a quarrel the other day And I just let you walk away 'Cause I was proud So proud and strong Yes I was much too proud to say I was wrong
You turned back crying and called to me But I just stood there silently 'Cause I was proud So proud and strong Yes I was much too proud to say I was wrong
Some other guy might have crawled to you And said don't go, I need you so But I wouldn't do it No, I couldn't do it And so I let you say good-bye And I was proud to let you cry Proud I held my head up high And now I'm just a proud and lonely guy
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes) I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry? You're gonna run away and hide I'm gonna run right by your side, for you pretty baby I'll even die I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes) I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry? You're gonna sit right down and cry What 'ya gonna do when I say "bye-bye"? All you're gonna do is dry your eye I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
