Sometimes I just can’t calm down
My skin is on fire, my brain’s whirling around
Moving makes me better but I know it bothers you
I need some help; I don’t know what to do.
I know it seems odd that I stare at the floor
But when I look at your eyes I can’t hear anymore
In order to listen I’ve got to look away
Not all the time, but it’s really bad today.
Chorus:
You have no idea what its like to be me,
No idea how hard it can be,
No idea how much I long to be free,
You have no idea what it’s like to be me.
I know you getA writ of divorce. Traditionally, only a man can grant his wife a get. Liberal Jews have amended this tradition, making divorce more egalitarian. embarrassed when we’re out and about
Noise and crowds scare me but I don’t mean to shout
I know you spent a lot on my nice new shirt
But I can’t put it on, it makes my body hurt.
Chorus
I know you worked real hard to make this good food
The smell hurts my head, I don’t mean to be rude
I don’t mean to misbehave, I don’t mean to get mad
I’m so sorry, I don’t want you to be sad
Bridge:
Teacher says I’m spoiled, Grampa says I just need rules
Gramma says in her day I wouldn’t dare do what I do
But they don’t understand what its like inside of me
‘Cause bad behavior is all that they see
