What Other People Say

Thought when I grew up

I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name

I would not give in, I would not partake

In the same old drugs everyone else takes

I'm better than that

I'm better than that

I'm living my life, so I go to Heaven and never come back

But look where I'm at

Look where I'm at

I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back

I used to call my mom every Sunday

So she knew her love wasn't far away

But now I'm all fucked up out in L.A

'Cause I care more about what other people say

I used to not take chances with God's name

But it's been so long since I last prayed

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed

'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

'Cause I care more about what other people say

I wish I could shelter the boy I knew

From the constant hell I put him through

'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue

I could use some tape, I could use some glue

I'm better than that

I'm better than that

I should be living my life

So I go to Heaven and never come back

I used to call my mom every Sunday

So she knew her love wasn't far away

But now I'm all fucked up out in L.A

'Cause I care more about what other people say

I used to not take chances with God's name

But it's been so long since I last prayed

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed

'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah-yeah-yeah

'Cause I care more about what other people say

I thought when I grew up I would be the same

As the ones who gave me my last name (oh)

I used to call my mom every Sunday

So she knew her love wasn't far away (far away)

But now I'm all fucked up out in L.A. (out in L.A.)

'Cause I care more about what other people say (what other people say)

I used to not take chances with God's name

But it's been so long since I last prayed (since I last prayed)

And now I'm all fucked up and my heart's changed

'Cause I care more about what other people say

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

'Cause I care more about what other people say
