Went to the city with all these lights
With the people to fall in love with or dislike
And music is like a pouring rain
I made my decision : I wanna stay.
Made songs, taped'em on my machine
Sent cassettes to a record company
(They Said) 'You know you're here to entertain?
You look good girl but I can hear no refrain'
Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
If your voice was clear and not so keen
Hey, we could change your style!
This is just another industry'
Well, I swept floors, I made hotel beds,
While I kept my songs like in a warehouse, in my head
'Bitter?'
No I just love to complain.
And I made my decision, here's the refrain :
'Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
If your voice was clear and not so keen
Hey, we could change your style!
This is just another industry'
'Disappointed?'
'No, I just like to complain'
'Cause I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it
I put on my shoes now and walk away.
I don't wanna do it, it's just a waste of time
And I don't like your rules.
I don't wanna do this, I cannot take it
I put on my shoes now and run away.
I don't wanna hear your lies and promises or your 'useful' advice
'Swing and sway, be colorful and sweet
Or you just waste my time.
Pick a word and sing it constantly,
About a million times.
