Beverley Knight - Straight Jacket lyrics

Your rating:

Why, why can't you be happy for me?

Now I've found someone who'll put up with me

I'm no little girl, I'm the woman you raised

I need some answers, you got me fazed

With your prejudice

Was there something I missed

When you told me you love me?



You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realise you're out on your own?



Please, please understand my choice

Why you trying to stifle my voice?

I sympathise with the way that you feel

But time stops for no-one

And you're standing still

And nothing grows under a shadow

I'm sorry, it's not my story



You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realise you're out on your own?



I'm sorry that my life didn't turn out as you meant

Nothing is an accident

It's all just in the script

It's something to accept

I know you won't admit

You only hurt yourself

I can't do this by myself



'Cause we've been banging our heads

On the same piece of the same wall

At the same time

For far too long now

And nothing lasts forever

So what else is new?

You held us all together

We're all waiting for you



You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realise you're out on your own?



You want me in your straight jacket

You won't accept me without it though

You know it's the one I've outgrown

You want me in your straight jacket

You'll never close me in your brackets

Don't you realise you're out on your own?
