Jimmy says"do this.."

I say"i don't want to!"

Jimmy says"do this.."

Jimmy says"do this.."

I say"i don't want to!"

Trying to make up my own mind

Got my own direction to find!

YeahI know jimmy's cool and everyone at school

Usually does what jimmy doeswithout thinking - just because



Jimmy says"try this.."

Jimmy says"try this.."

I say"i don't need it!"

Jimmy says"try this.."

Jimmy says"try this.."

I say"i don't need it!"



Sometimes it's just no fun

To feel like you're the only one

Who doesn't go alongwhen things seem wrong

But they're not my friends if they don't see

That I don't like people pushing me!



Hey manwhat's the matter with you? 

Ohcome on! everybody's going!

Chicken!

Nobody's gonna know!

What are youscared? 

Everybody does it! come on!



I might hang out with jim

But I don't need to be just like him

Got to listen to myself

Cause you can't let someone else

Always make your move for you!

Got to find out what you want to do!



Jimmy says"try this.."

Come on and try this!

I say"i don't need it!"

Jimmy says"come ontry this.."

I say"i don't need it!"

Oh jimmyjimmy
