Why, why can't you be happy for me?

Now ive found someone who will put up with me

Im no little girl im the woman you raised, I need some answers

Youve got me faced with your predjudice

Was there something I missed when you told me you loved me?

Chourus:

You want me in your straight jacket you won't accept me

Without it though you know its the one I've out grown

You want me in your straight jacket, You'll never close me in

Your brackets dont you realise your out on your own

Yeah

Please, please understand my choice, why you trying to stiffle

My voice. I sympathise with the way that you feel but time

Stops for no one and your standing still and nothing grows

Under a shadow, I'm sorry, its not my story..

Chourus:

You want me in your straight jacket you won't accept me

Without it though you know its the one I've out grown

You want me in your straight jacket, you'll never close me in

Your brackets dont you realise your out on your own

Yeah

Im sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant, nothing is

An accident its all just in the script its something to accept

I know you won't admit, you only hurt yourself, I can't do this

By myself

Coz weve been banging on the walls

On the same piece of the same wall at the same time

For far too long now. And nothing lasts forever

So what else is new? You held us all together, were all waiting for

..........You.......

Chourus: (X2)

You want me in your straight jacket you won't accept me

Without it though you know its the one I've out grown

You want me in your straight jacket, you'll never close me in

Your brackets dont you realise your out on your own
