I just can't help thinking What you've done to me You built a wall of love and tore it right down In front of me And you think you know what's going on You keep telling me that I am wrong I don't care about what you do 'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you The picture you see is no portrait of me It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know And it's driving me wild It makes me act like a child You think I am crazy, but what can I do You waste your time, like my money It ain't so funny, but it's true (Don't waste my money, baby) Now you can't tell me what's going on And that I am weak while you are strong What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show The picture you see is no portrait of me It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know And it's driving me wild It makes me act like a child The picture you see is no portrait of me It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know And it's driving me wild It makes me act like a child
