I Wander Back to You
Tonight I want to be somebody
Not just like everybody else I know
My fashion show is unique
Wearing seven silver nose rings
I am the prettiest thing you've ever seen
I shop at the downtown flea
I wander around the shopping mall
Just to get a glimpse of what's going down
I don't smoke dope, I don't snort coke
Call me crazy, call me a jerk
Though I may run, I won't hide
'Cause I want you to know I'll try suicide
I wear my baggy pants with my Camel smokes
Blah, blah, blah and I hate my folks
I wander around with my head hung low
Then I wander back to you
Why do I crave attention?
Why do I want more affection from you to me?
You're abusing me I know
I'm full of raging hormones
Why don't I give a damn whether you're at home?
You worry too much about me
I wander around the shopping mall
Just to get a glimpse of what's going down
I don't smoke dope, I don't snort coke
Call me crazy, call me a jerk
Though I may run, I won't hide
'Cause I want you to know I'll try suicide
I wear my baggy pants with my Camel smokes
Blah, blah, blah and I hate my folks
I wander around with my head hung low
Then I wander back to you
