[Verse 1]

I feed on you

You feed on me

When we agree

It's good to be bold

When you act frightened

I'll make you feel stupid

'Cause nothing's more stupid

Than thinking I'm evil

But if you smile

Then I'll smile too

There's nothing better to do


[Chorus]

I'm just me, listen to me

A old All-American original


[Verse 2]

You're down in the mind

And don't say I don't see

You're treating me badly

It's pulling me downmind

Can't bring me downmind

Sorry-sack downmind

You're not an only

Fully true sad man

Though I may seem

A flaming total bitch

I'm a special friend


[Chorus]

I'm just me, listen to me

A old All-American original


[Verse 3]

You're not the cool-cool

You're just a scared fool

Thinking I'm evil

And sure of your sickness

Sick just to follow

Follower gutless

Mistaken for goodness

And pulling me downmind

Down in the mind

You're sick in the soul

You're treating me nicely

It's pulling me downmind


[Chorus]

(I'm just me)

I'm just me, listen to me

A old All-American original
