lyrics

I wanna to put a stop to
You feeling bad
But if you wanna stay mad
I'm not gonna stop you

I know you wanna scream at
Your dead beat dad
But then you just
Go buy some plaid instead and
I'm not gonna stop you

I know I make a good
Landing pad
But I must say this rage is
Just a tad
Too much for me
I'm just trying to get happy myself

I just wanna step out
Shake some new hands
Maybe I'll understand something more and
I don't wanna leave without you

(Instrumental)

You make me wanna try to change the wiring of man
But then you feel small and he's just a sad old fad
Well, that's fine with me
But does that make you happy yourself?

I wanna put a stop to
You feeling so bad most times
But if you wanna stay mad
I'm never gonna stop you
