Okay, let me tell you 'bout Some of the things I'm going through I know you think that you know But how do you know that what you know is true But well, maybe it's time for gettin' out of line What it seems like the done thing to do
Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out
Take me away, I said take me away I don't wanna be like that Yeah, take me away, I said take me away And I don't wanna be like that
Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that
Now the cocaine club says welcome You're in college now not school But I'm sorry to say that I'm going out to work While you're going to the swimmin' pool But where the L.A. sun can turn your brains To scrambled eggs it's true
Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out
Take me away, I said take me away And I don't wanna be like that Take me away, I said take me away I said, I don't wanna be like that
Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that
Some people think that they know about some girls Well, some people think they're cool And some girls think they know about me Some girls think I'm some fool
And American girls that put their tongue in your ear When they talk on the telephone And the stars only come out at night When the press and photographers moan and groan
And the Playboy centerfold leaves me cold And that ain't 'cause I'm a fag So you playboys can just go play with yourself That's your style, 'cause that's a drag
You get crazy Get crazy I just wanna get Just wanna get out, hey
Take me away, I said take me away And I don't wanna be like that Yeah, take me away, I said take me away And I don't wanna be like that
Yeah, take me away, I said take me away I said, I don't wanna be like that Take me away, I said take me away I said, I don't wanna be like that
Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that
