just a victim of my mind
 Turning deaf and dumb and blind
 'cause I need to
 I'm inescapably obsessed with the thoughts I have repressed
 How I look when I'm undressed to receive you
 Why do you think your love could ever change me?
 Why?
 you don't know anything about me baby
 Should I wax or should I shave,
 be a master or a slave
 Would a good girl misbehave like I plan to
 Do I smile or do I pout,
 turn the collar in or out
 It's the little things that count,
 baby can't you see that  I
 just can't take it anymore
 I need to find some
 kind of light behind the door

 Chorus:
 And it gets me down,
 yes it gets me down
 Everybody's got it right but me somehow
 And it gets me down,
 spins my head around

 Life really should be easier by
 now  I read another magazine,
 see the star I've never been
 Hope is something in between all the pages
 So I buy a promise in a jar,
 I try to cover up the scars
 There's no shelter from the storm when it rages
 I've tried so long and hard and nothing changes
 God must be laughing as he turns away

 *Chorus*

 I just can't take it anymore
 I need to find some kind of light behind the door
 I'm just a symptom of my time.
