When I came, and he said to the girl
What it is in the whole wide world that you
That you, you want me to do?
She said: Grow, and by God I grew and now

I'll be the man that you want me to be
See the world how you want me to see
And I'll flip over to the other side
And I will do, and I will do my time
And I will walk the way that you want me to
Look at the thing and see it through
And I will do the things that you tell me to
Do the things that you tell me to

And every time that I want to cry
And every time that you laugh and smirk and lie
Every time that you say you'll try
Every time that I realize that
Life is not what you want to live
You run and take and I am forced to give
Life is not what it's meant to be
Just a distant reality

I'll do the things that you want me to, no
That's just a lie 'cause I'm just you, and oh
I'll do the things that I want to do, no
That's just a lie 'cause I'm just you plus two
Model two, what is new?
What is new when we watch the news?
'Cause the world's the way that it wants to be
You follow, but you think you're free, but you're not

And every time that I want to cry
And every time that you laugh and smirk and lie
Every time that you say you'll try
Every time that I realize that
Life is not what you want to live
You run and take and I am forced to give
Life is not what it's meant to be
Just a distant reality
