[English]

Nobody will tell you

nobody will tell you

nobody will tell you

but it's waiting for you

I don't know fashion

Don't know movies

Don't know much of anything at all

I don't know art, boy

Not real smart, boy

But at least I know who I am

But at least I know who I am

But at least I know who I am

Not medicated if I'm crazy

Must have been this way all my life

Try to change me, wanna save me

But at least I know who I am

Would it kill you to be a little bit nice?

Would it kill you to stop thinking twice?

Only love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Would you make that promise?

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

I get frustrated, underrated

I can't fake it for the rest of my life

Try meditation or masturbation

Or whatever makes you feel alright

Would it kill you to be a little bit nice?

Would it kill you to stop thinking twice?

Only love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Would you make that promise?

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

I fall on my face but stand on my feet

I fall on my face but stand on my feet

I fall on my face but stand on my feet

I fall on, I fall on, I fall on on my feet

Only love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Would you make that promise?

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

Only love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Would you make that promise?

Could you love somebody, love somebody

Love them when they're honest
