Allow me my own diginity...



I came to the city with my head so full of dreams

The city was safe alright but not from me

See I've been in trouble since I lay my suitcase down

I love the sound of my own voice, but now I want it drowned



I've got nothing to be proud of

There's so little I possess

I gave away my love and my, my diginity

And somehow I covered up the rest



How did it all go so wrong?

It was nothing like this in the magazines

I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind

saying boy you'll never amount to anything



I clutched at desire I never listened to my heart

I didn't know I had one, that it could beat so fast

Oh I've been a user, such a liar, such a fake

Always thinking of myself, always on the make



Now I've got nothing I can give you

Except self-pity and regret

but if you let me prove I love you

I'll be the one boy you'll never forget



How did it all go so wrong?

It was nothing like this on the Tv screen

I can hear my mothers voice, hear her crying in the wind

saying boy, baby boy, you can be anything



How did it all go so wrong?

It was nothing like this in the magazines

I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind

He was right, I'll never be anything

He was right, I'll never be anything
