Take me away I said, take me away
Where the L.A. sun can turn your brains
Some people think they're cool
Don't wanna be like that
Take me away, I said, take me away
Don't wanna be like that
Some people get hazy
That what you know is true
When they talk on the telephone
Don't wanna be like that
You get crazy, lazy, you get hazy
I don't wanna be like that
Take me away, I said, take me away
So you playboys can just go play with yourself
Some people get hazy
Don't wanna be like that
I said, I don't wanna be like that
Yeah, hey take me away, I said, take me away
When the press and photographers moan and groan
And American girls that put their tongue in your ear
Take me away, I said, take me away
That's your style 'cause that's a drag
I don't wanna be like that
Some people get lazy
Now the cocaine club says, "Welcome"
Don't wanna be like that
Some people get out
Don't wanna be like that
And the stars only come out at night
Some people get crazy
And that ain't 'cause I'm a fag
And the Playboy centerfold leaves me cold
Some people think that they know about some girls
Well, maybe it's time for gettin' out of line
I don't wanna be like that
Hey, hey take me away, I said, take me away
Some people get out
Don't wanna be like that
Some people get lazy
While you're goin' to the swimmin' pool
Hey, hey take me away I said, take me away
Some girls think, I'm some fool
To scrambled eggs it's true
But I'm sorry to say that I'm goin' out to work
Take me away, I said, take me away
And some girls think that they know about me
Just wanna get out, hey
Don't wanna be like that
I don't wanna be like that
Don't wanna be like that
I said, I don't wanna be like that
Some people get crazy
Well, it seems like the done thing to do
You're in college now not in school
Don't wanna be like that
Don't wanna be like that
I said, I don't wanna be like that
Just wanna get
I don't wanna be like that
