Ok let me tell you bout some of the things Im going through
I know you think that you know but how do you know
That what you know is true
Well maybe its time for getting out of line
It seems like the done thing to do
Some people get crazy
Some people get lazy
Some people get hazy
Some people get out

Take me away I said take me away
I dont wanna be like that
Dont wanna be like that

Now the cocaine dens says welcome
Youre in college now not in school
But Im sorry to say that Im going out to work
While youre going to the swimming pool
Where the l.a. sun can turn your brains
To scrambled eggs its true
Some people get crazy
Some people get lazy
Some people get hazy
Some people get out

Take me away I said take me away
I dont wanna be like that
Dont wanna be like that

Some people think that they know about some girls
Some people think theyre cool
And some girls think they know about me
Some girls think Im some fool
And american girls that put their tongue in your ear
When they talk on the telephone
And the stars only come out at night
When the press and photographers moan and groan
And the playboy centerfold leaves me cold
And that aint cause Im a fag
So you playboys can just go play with yourself
Thats your style
cause thats a drag

Take me away I said take me away
I dont wanna be like that
Dont wanna be like that
