Music and lyrics Ray Davies
I won't take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won't take it all lying down,
'Cause once I get started I go to town.
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.
But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.
I won't take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won't take it all lying down,
'Cause once I get started I go to town.
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.
But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.
