I come fluttering in from Neverland
Time could never stop me, no-no, no-no
I know you try to
I come riding in on a pale white horse
Handing out highs to less fortunate
I do advise you run it back, run it on back
When you're breaking it down for me
'Cause I can hear you two times
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?
I got to do things my own way, darling
Will you ever let me? Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way, darling
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind, oh
Let me cover your s- in glitter
I can make it gold, gold
Heard you're tryna sell your soul, baby
Word on the street, you're running low lately
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
From the face it's seeing now
Ooh, darling, would you mind giving my reflection a break
From the pain it's feeling now?
I got to do things my own way, darling
You should just let me, will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way, darling
You should just let me, why you will never let me grow?
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind, oh
Getting no peace
Getting no peace
Get, get, getting no peace, oh
Getting no peace
(Get, g-get no peace, oh)
