He gets his information
From overhearing conversations
He doesn’t ask questions
Doesn’t learn many lessons
And he keeps his mouth shut
(Keeps his mouth shut)
Until it boils over and he blows up
And then he can’t form his words right
And they don’t fit together so tight
And I hope to God that he will find his name
And not listen to his so-called friends
When they so boldly say,
“This is the way that you are.”
Don’t let them say,
“This is the way that you are.”
She doesn’t have much to say
About yesterday
Or what happened to her
When she was eight
So she drinks a lot
(She drinks a lot)
And it makes her feel okay
For the moment
But its gone when she awakes
And I hope you know that
Someone out there loves you
So don’t give yourself away
And don’t listen to them when they say,
“This is the way that you are.”
Don’t let them say,
“This is the way that you are.”
"This is the way that you are."
Don't let them say,
"This is the way that you are."
Don't let them say,
"This is the way,
This is the way,
This is the way that you are."
Don't let them say,
"This is the way, this is the way that you are."
