My mind's got a mind of its own

It takes me out a walkin' when I'd rather stay at home

Takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone

My mind's got a mind of its own



I've been doing things I thought I'd never do

I've been getting into trouble without ever meaning to

I'd as soon settle down but I'm right back up again

I feel just like a leaf out in the wind.



(chorus)



I seem to forget half the things I start

I try to build a house and then I tear the place apart

I freeze myself on fire and then I burn myself on ice

I can't count to one without thinking twice



(chorus)



I tell myself to do the things I should

And then I get to thinkin' that them things ain't any good.

I tell myself the truth but know I'm lying like a snake

You can't walk on water at the bottom of a lake.
