I Say

They say you need to join the real world

They say it's time to grow up

They say you better watch your diet

They say get a proper job

But I won't give in

Wear a different skin

Won't let them take my smile away

Who are "they" anyway?

So I say, stop the t-t-talking

I'm so sick of empty noises

I'm just doing what I'm doing

And I don't need no permission from you, no

My way is to laugh as I'm falling

We're too young to be conforming

Get right out of my head

Your talking means nothing

And that's all you've said

I listen to nothing

They ask, "When will you get married?"

They say you're too young to settle down

They ask, "Are you saving for your future?"

They say time is running out

But I won't give in to that silly spin

Won't let them take my smile away

Who are they anyway?

So I say, stop the t-t-talking

I'm so sick of empty noises

I'm just doing what I'm doing

And I don't need no permission from you

My way is to laugh as I'm falling

We're young to be conforming

Get right out of my head

Your talking means nothing

Did you hear what I said?

They tell you to keep your head down

They tell me to stick to the safe ground

You can shout all you like, I won't turn around

No one's right, I don't give a damn

I'll do this my way, I'll do this my way

So I say stop the t-t-talking

I'm so sick of all these noises

I'm just doing what I'm doing

And I don't need no permission from you

My way is to laugh as I'm falling

We're all too young to be conforming

Get right out of my head

Your talking means nothing

Did you hear what I said?

Your talking means nothing
