I get my way, I get my way.Your complaints can't explain it.I get my way...

I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)And I see my imperfections. (They're creeping up on me.)And I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin' home.

I told her "Keep your money straight,""Don't spend it all in one place, you might find yourself too broke to borrow."I told her life is gonna fade:"Don't let the youth go to waste, you'll soon drown yourself all up in your sorrow."

ContagiousI don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)And I see my imperfections. (They're creeping up on me.)And I don't need your direction. (I'm catchin' up to you.)Don't turn down the bed, 'cause I'm not comin' home.

I'm runnin' dry,Is this real life?Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.So cut me loose, this has gone too far,I'm getting out while I still have a shot.

I get my way...

The whole world is getting highWhile all our jobs are so dry.

I can see, I can hear your cries.

I'm not the type of guyTo let my life pass me by.

And all I know, I've heard back at home.

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.Your dad was so typical.

I'm a lush, so what's your story?

And every single day,I watch as my neighbors pray:

"Please don't ll our world with hate."

And when will the world seeThere aren't any bad seeds?

With life comes room to grow.

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.Your dad was so typical.

I'm a junkie, so what's your story?

I'm sorry, boys and girls,But you will be judged AND labeled your

entire life.No ifs, ands, or buts.

We all have our problems,And we all have our habits.

So what exactly separates you from me?

Oh, your mom was a centerfold.Your dad was so typical.

Carefree Highway

[Chorus]

We're livin' it up, livin' it up, we're livin' it.Being gone, I never felt so alone,

I haven't seen myself since I last left home.Don't wanna be on my...

Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)

Realizing ignorance is bliss... yeah!

Give me something to pray for,(Give me something to pray for!)

'Cause we can't do this alone.And give me something to live for,

(Give me something to live for!)Waiting my turn for so long...

I don't wanna be on be on my own.

I came to, face pressed to the carpet.I have no clue how I got here...Must've been livin' it up, livin' it up, livin' it.My friends don't come dime a dozen.The good Lord knows I couldn't ever leave 'em behind, leave 'em behind, leave 'em.

Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)Realizing ignorance is bliss.

Give me something to pray for,'Cause we can't do this alone.Give me something to live for-Waiting my turn for so long...Don't wanna be on be on my own.

Whoa-oh-oh.Shoo-be-da-da-ah.

We're smoked up,The good times never fade.The desert keeps us sane.We're soakin' it up, soakin' it up, soakin' it.So don't get caught upIn our distance or your demons.The good Lord knows you're schemin'.You best be straightin' up, straightin' up, straightin'.

Carefree highway to happiness, (whoo-AH-ooh-ooh)Realizing ignorance is bliss.

THIS CANT BE HEALTHY

You rush me into your apartment,The glow of your bedroom ahead.

Your spirit was warm when I touched you,We think alike to live alike, yeah.

Breathe in deep for me,'Cause I'll be there for you.

Don't lose sight of me,'Cause I watch the old tricks.

I won't waste my time,'Cause I'll be there for you.So breathe in deep for me.

You took control, and I like that.You know you're so sexy, girl...

You use it against me, girl.

Breathe in deep for me,'Cause I'll be there for you.

Don't lose sight of me,'Cause I watch the old tricks.

I won't waste my time,'Cause I'll be there for you.So breathe in deep for me.

You reach for my hands, but you touch my heart.You reach for my hands, but you touch my heart.

You reach for my hands and I fall apart.You reach for my hands and you touch my heart.

Breathe in deep for me,'Cause I'll be there for you.

Don't lose sight of me,'Cause I watch the old tricks.

I won't waste my time,'Cause I'll be there for you.

Yeah, so breathe in deep for me.I won't waste my time.

Yeah, so breathe in deep for me!
