Keep your philosophy Take it up or leave it It doesn't apply to me I'm not gonna change a bit If it means heartache then leave it out for your sake I tried and I try tried to take care of my insides Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object I want those who get to know me to become admirers or my enemies When you're a pirouetting, highkicking thighslapping cruiser When you're a hipgrinding spellbinding clean cut seducer You have to be careful so people take note I take it serious, but I still like a joke I want those who get to know me to become admirers or my enemies Take it up or leave it I'm not gonna change a bit If it means heartache then leave it out for your sake I tried and I try tried but still you say that I lied Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object Keep your philosophy it doesn't apply to me If it means heartache then leave it out for your sake, your sake I tried and I try tried But still you say that I lied Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object
