What Other People Say (stripped)

Thought when I grew up, I would be the same
As the ones who gave me my last name
I would not give in, I would not partake
In the same old drugs everyone else takes

I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I'm livin' my life so I go to Heaven and never come back
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
I'm livin' the life that I said I wouldn't and wanna go back

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all fucked up out in LA
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say

I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
From the constant hell I'd put him through
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
I could use some tape, I could use some glue

I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I should be livin' my life so I go to Heaven and never come back

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away
But now I'm all fucked up out in LA
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say

I thought when I grew up, I would be the same
As the ones who gave me my last name

I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn't far away (far away)
But now I'm all fucked up out in LA (out in LA)
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say
