my idea of love is it's a thing that you buy
but you tell me it's priceless and i don't know why
i'm shouting at you will you lend me a hand
you stare at me, i don't understand
because i don't know what i've done to you

i open my eyes
you put forward a hand
you wanna take not give
i put my head in the sand
you ticked me off
pushed me around
you shout at me
i don't hear a sound
because confusion takes my sense away

i'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be
sick and tired, aren't you ever gonna let me be
sick and tired, do i have to get on my knees
sick and tired that i never know what is free

i have these ideas, formations in my mind
i'd like to tell them to you but you ain't got the time
you sleepwalk your life, are you living a lie
is it something i said? oh and i can't cry
because you say i've got to be a man

i open my eyes
you put forward a hand
you wanna take not give
i put my head in the sand
you ticked me off
pushed me around
you shout at me
i don't hear a sound
because confusion takes my sense away

i'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be
sick and tired, aren't you ever gonna let me be
sick and tired, do i have to get on my knees
sick and tired that i never know what is free
okay

i'm sick and tired of you telling me what to be
sick and tired, aren't you ever gonna let me be
sick and tired, do i have to get on my knees
sick and tired that i never know what is free
sick and tired
sick and tired
sick and tired
sick and tired and i never know what is free
