If you wanna see some crazy

And oh so lazy

Then you should see me and my friends

Even though we've got no money

We're sure as hell funny

Yeah everything's better with them

We're just like

Ooh, ooh, ooh

We don't worry 'bout tomorrow we just

Do, ooh, ooh

What we wanna do tonight

Waking up at sundown

The world's our playground

And we don't even have to pretend

Everytime we're together

It doesn't get better

And everyday is like a weekend

We're just like

Ooh, ooh, ooh

We don't worry 'bout tomorrow we just

Do, ooh, ooh

What we wanna do tonight

So don't tell me

How to act or how I should be

All we wanted is to be free

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

Why don't you see

We just act a little crazy

And we're following our heartbeats

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

Got the boom box blasting

And we're just laughing

The neighbors try to shut us down

But you know they can't blame us

For acting shameless

No we just like to have some fun

We're just like

Ooh, ooh, ooh

We don't worry 'bout tomorrow we just

Do, ooh, ooh

What we wanna do tonight

Before we all grow old

So don't tell me

How to act or how I should be

All we wanted is to be free

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

Why don't you see

We just act a little crazy

And we're following our heartbeats

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

You(Don't wanna be like)

You(Don't wanna act like)

You(Don't wanna be like)

You(Don't wanna act like)

You

And I know that I'm just wasting time

But I don't wanna let this go

I don't wanna let this go

And I know that I might not be fine

But I will never let this go

No I will never let this go

So don't tell me

How to act or how I should be

All we wanted is to be free

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

Why don't you see

We just act a little crazy

And we're following our heartbeats

We don't wanna be like you, whoa

We don't wanna be like you

Don't wanna be like you

Don't wanna act like you

Don't wanna be like you

Don't wanna be like you

Don't wanna act like you

Don't wanna be like you
