Ow ow ow ow Hey! oh! Hey! oh! Do it I don't wanna waste my time again By getting wasted with so-called friends 'Cause they don't know me But they pretend to be part of my social scenery And hey maybe I'm a critic, a cynic Or am I jaded? or am I afraid of it? 'Cause it's draggin' me down It's bummin' me out It's makin' my head spin round and round Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? I get the feeling we're on to somethin' I say jump and you start jumpin' Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's that, now what do you want from me? Just another day in the life of me It's three am and I can't sleep And I've been thinkin' That we've been drinkin' In hopes to maintain our sanity And hey maybe I'm a critic, a cynic Or am I crazy? do they all hate me? 'Cause they pick me up And throw me down It's makin' my head spin round and round Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? I get the feeling we're on to somethin' I say jump and you start jumpin' Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's that, now what do you want from me? Whoo! Everything that I do It's never good enough for you I do my best, dress to impress With my heart out on my chest Goin' nowhere fast I don't know where I'm at When I say jump and you start jumpin' Hey! We're on to somethin' Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? I get the feeling we're on to somethin' I say jump and you start jumpin' Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's that, now what do you want from me? Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's right, what do you want from me? I get the feeling we're on to somethin' I say jump and you start jumpin' Can you say Hey Can you say Oh That's that, now what do you want from me?
