Fool

I tell myself
 Not to be a fool
 It comes so naturally to me
 It's all I'll ever be
 I tell myself
 To grow up, get serious
 And all I want to be
 Is an animal that's free
 I tell myself
 It's not safe in my head
 And that's where I'm gonna be
 Every day until I'm dead
 I tell myself
 Come on and hit the big score
 I only get myself banged up
 When I think I'm needing more
 There's a little girl
 Sitting in the back seat
 Watching me everyday
 I'm trying to listen
 To what she tells me
 She knows that I am afraid
 Then she says
 Go do it anyways
 I tell myself
 I'm not good, not good enough
 Now I'm studying up
 How not to treat me so rough
 I'll tell myself
 Just about anything
 But I don't have to believe
 Everything I say to me
 There's a little girl
 Sitting in the back seat
 She really knows how to play
 I'm trying to listen
 To what she tells me
 To show my love I'm afraid
 And then she says
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 I tell myself
 Not to be a fool
 And all I want to be
 Is an animal that's free
 There's a little girl
 Sitting in the back seat
 She really knows how to play
 I'm trying to listen
 To what she tells me
 To show my love I'm afraid
 And then she says
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
 Go do it anyway
