[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I need an alarm system in my house

So I know when people are

Creeping about, these people are

Freaking me out these days

[Pre-Chorus]

It's getting hectic everywhere that I go

They won't leave me alone, there's things they all wanna know

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet

Why are they talking to me? And why can't anyone see

[Chorus]

I just wanna live?

Don't really care about the things that they say

Don't really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live

[Post-Chorus]

Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live

[Verse 2]

I rock a lawsuit when I'm going to court

A white suit when I'm getting divorced

A black suit at the funeral home

And my birthday suit when I'm home alone

[Pre-Chorus]

Talking on the phone, got an interview

With the Rolling Stone, they're saying

"Now you're rich and now you're famous

Fake-ass girls all know your name and

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

Your first hit, aren't you ashamed?"

Of the life, of the life

Of the life we're living

[Chorus]

I just wanna live

Don't really care about the things that they say

Don't really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

[Bridge]

"Stop your messing around, boy!

Better think of your future!

Better make some good plans, boy!"

Said everyone of my teachers

Look out! You better play it safe

You never know what hard times will come your way

We say where we're coming from

We've already seen the worst that this life can bring

[Pre-Chorus]

Now we expect it everywhere that we go

All the things that they say, yeah, we already know

[Chorus]

I just wanna live

Don't really care about the things that they say

Don't really care about what happens to me

(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

I just wanna live

(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

[Outro]

I just wanna live

(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

Don't really care about the things that they say

(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

Don't really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live...
