A small man sat next to me
Said he'll lock my destiny with paper
He talks about later
He said, "Son, I'll make you a man
All the women will understand
So get the pen back in your hand and start signing"
So don't look or talk at me
I'll do something you won't foresee
I know I'll come out on top
Pick your jaws off the floor they dropped
But that isn't, no, that isn't me
You better listen to the kids
We know where it's at and is
So keep your money and your wiz
So don't look or talk at me
I'll do something you won't foresee
So go and dance to the rhythm of yourself
Do the best with the cards you're dealt
I know it makes me happy for today
'Cause I know where I am and going to
I'll be fine if it weren't for you
Why don't you leave me to it and go your way? Hey, hey
A small man sat next to me
He'll sell my soul but not for free
And make me who I wanna be
Hey, he said, "Son, look over there
Change your clothes, change your face and hair
And tell me it's only fair"
I said I won't pay your fee
I'll do something you won't foresee
So go and dance to the rhythm of yourself
Do the best with the cards you're dealt
I know it makes me happy for today
'Cause I know where I am and going to
I'll be fine if it weren't for you
Why don't you leave me to it and go your way?
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Don't tell me that you will own me
I'll make myself look down and glee
I won't donate myself to you
Oh, oh and I'll find out all of your truths
Propel myself past wasted youth
So go and dance to the rhythm of yourself
Do the best with the cards you're dealt
I know it makes me happy for today, hey, hey
'Cause I know where I am and going to
I'll be fine if it weren't for you
Why don't you leave me to it and go your way? Hey, hey
