I never tried to make you my clown
You have got no good reason to put me down
Put me out, put me right
I do not care that I'm not your kind
If you can't see the good in me, you're as blind
As the eyes of the night

You may not have been impressed
But somebody was
You may not think I'm the shit
But somebody does
You may not want to be me
But you want to be wanted, just like me

I never had designs upon you
Why would you ever think such a thing is true
That's a laugh, that's absurd
It is a simple mental relief
When I make my creed up you might heed belief
Every self-centered word

I do not deserve this kind of flak
Filling up the air behind my back
I don't understand why you're attacking me
