Lyrics

Fried

[Verse 1]

Oh, you are so very strange

Sometimes I think you've gone insane

It is hard to remain sane in this giddy world

Couldn't you give it a go?

We're all trying so hard, you know

Couldn't you give it a go, just for me?

[Chorus]

Did I say I want to know?

Well, I'm talking about it, go

Would you please leave me alone?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

[Verse 2]

Oh, how I'd like to get in your head

Just to see if you are dead

Oh, I'd like to get into that pretty head

And it would amuse me

Just to see how you felt about me

How you feel about always getting fried?

[Chorus]

Did I say I want to know?

I'm talking about it, go

Would you please leave me alone?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Ah, did I say I want to know?

Well, I'm talking about it, go

Would you please leave me alone?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own? Now!

[Bridge]

Woo, I'm getting fried!

Woo, I'm getting fried!

Woo, I'm getting fried!

Woo, I'm getting fried!

We're all getting fried!

We're all getting fried!

We're all getting fried!

We're all getting fried!

[Chorus]

Did I say I want to know?

Well, I'm talking about it, go

Could you please leave me alone?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Ah, did I say I want to know?

I'm talking about it, go

Could you please leave me alone?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?

[Outro]

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!

Can't you see I wanna be on my own?!
