You won't let me change

You don't let me change

Tell me I can grow up

And age will forget that I'm old

You won't let me change

You don't let me change

The story is already told



As tears get mixed up with rain

Every time I mention I mention in vain

How do you expect to be free

When all your politics were written in

The lipstick that kissed me



You won't let me change

You don't let me change

Tell me I can grow up

And age will forget that I'm old

You won't let me change

You don't let me change

The story is already told



If the world keeps blowing

In storm around us all

All the words are frozen

As the rain turns into snow fall

So happy I was

To serve blindly on the tray

And honesty isn't poetry

Just a truthful way to complain
