Straight Jacket

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

Now I've found someone who'll put up with me

I'm no little girl,

I'm the woman you raised

I need some answers

You got me fazed with your prejudice

Was there something

I missedWhen you told me you love me?

You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one

I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realize you're out on your own?

Please, please understand my choice

Why you trying to stifle my voice?

I sympathize with the way that you feel

But time stops for no one and you're standing still

And nothing grows under a shadow

I'm sorry, it's not my story

You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one

I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realize you're out on your own?

I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant

Nothing is an accident, it's all just in the script

It's something to accept,

I know you won't admit

You only hurt yourself,

I can't do this by myself'

Cause we've been banging our heads

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, we're all waiting for you

You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though(You won't accept me)

You know it's the one

I've outgrown(It's the one I've outgrown)

You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket)

You'll never close me in your brackets[Incomprehensible]

Don't you realize you're out on your own?(On your own)

You want me in your straight jacket(Straight jacket)

You won't accept me without it though(Please, please)

You know it's the one

I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket(Oh no)

You'll never close me in your brackets(Oh no)

Don't you realize you're out on your own?
