I've never been a thief, but I won't say I'll never steal I've never been a star, but that doesn't mean I don't appeal I always read the Bible, but too seldom do I kneel Well I disregard the writing and I play just what I feel
So what do I care? Why should I care? All I really want is something more than you can order From a telephone, if they call I'm not at home So write it off as another loss And let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone
I've been a truthful man, but I won't say I've never lied I've always had a plan, but somehow it never was applied Never got my share of lovin', I've always been denied I ain't greedy, but I aim to take what rightfully is mine
All I really want is something that I do not have to share Hide it under lock and key so they'll never see Or they'll never know And let someone else be responsible And let the world leave me alone
People try to tell me I'm a dreamer Wastin'everybody else's time Movin' all around I'm just a schemer Gettin' into everybody's way
Let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone Let the world leave me alone World leave me alone
