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