Jimmy says, "do this.."
Jimmy says, "do this.."
I say, "i dont want to!"
Jimmy says, "do this.."
Jimmy says, "do this.."
I say, "i dont want to!"
Trying to make up my own mind
Got my own direction to find!
Yeah, I know jimmys cool and everyone at school
Usually does what jimmy does, without thinking - just because
Jimmy says, "try this.."
Jimmy says, "try this.."
I say, "i dont need it!"
Jimmy says, "try this.."
Jimmy says, "try this.."
I say, "i dont need it!"
Sometimes its just no fun
To feel like youre the only one
Who doesnt go along, when things seem wrong
But theyre not my friends if they dont see
That I dont like people pushing me!
Hey man, whats the matter with you?
Oh, come on! everybodys going!
Chicken!
Nobodys gonna know!
What are you, scared?
Everybody does it! come on!
I might hang out with jim
But I dont need to be just like him
Got to listen to myself
Cause you cant let someone else
Always make your move for you!
Got to find out what you want to do!
Jimmy says, "try this.."
Come on and try this!
I say, "i dont need it!"
Jimmy says, "come on, try this.."
I say, "i dont need it!"
Oh jimmy, jimmy
