  • Ow ow ow ow

    Hey! oh!
    Hey! oh!

    Do it

    I don't wanna waste my time again
    By getting wasted with so-called friends
    'Cause they don't know me
    But they pretend to be part of my social scenery
    And hey maybe I'm a critic, a cynic
    Or am I jaded? or am I afraid of it?
    'Cause it's draggin' me down
    It's bummin' me out
    It's makin' my head spin round and round

    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    I get the feeling we're on to somethin'
    I say jump and you start jumpin'
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's that, now what do you want from me?

    Just another day in the life of me
    It's three am and I can't sleep
    And I've been thinkin'
    That we've been drinkin'
    In hopes to maintain our sanity
    And hey maybe I'm a critic, a cynic
    Or am I crazy? do they all hate me?
    'Cause they pick me up
    And throw me down
    It's makin' my head spin round and round

    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    I get the feeling we're on to somethin'
    I say jump and you start jumpin'
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's that, now what do you want from me?

    Whoo!
    Everything that I do
    It's never good enough for you
    I do my best, dress to impress
    With my heart out on my chest
    Goin' nowhere fast
    I don't know where I'm at
    When I say jump and you start jumpin'
    Hey!
    We're on to somethin'

    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    I get the feeling we're on to somethin'
    I say jump and you start jumpin'
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's that, now what do you want from me?

    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's right, what do you want from me?
    I get the feeling we're on to somethin'
    I say jump and you start jumpin'
    Can you say
    Hey
    Can you say
    Oh
    That's that, now what do you want from me? Writer/s: AUSTIN BELLO, CALEB TURMAN, JONATHAN COOK, KENT GARRISON, KYLE BRUNS, MARC STEWART, MICHAEL GOODMAN, UNKNOWN WRITER
