Though I've the best intentions
Nothing works the way it should
I speak so eloquently
Still I am misunderstood
But I don't want a gold Rolls Royce
And I don't want to get too high
And I don't want to rule the world
And I don't want revenge, no
I just want this watchful world to know
I can behave
I never meant you any harm
Things just got out of hand
My plans are cruel to give her
Nothing goes the way I planned
But I don't want a thousand girls
And I don't want my ex to die
And I don't want eternal youth
And I don't want it all, no
I just want this watchful world to know
I can behave
I'm neither God nor Satan
I'm just an imperfect man
And miracles elude me
I just do the best I can
But I don't want your sympathy
And I don't want to see you cry
And I don't want your forty pearls
And I don't want your faith, no
I just want to mind my p's and q's
And dot my i's and cross my t's
And be seen in my Sunday best
And keep myself free of disease
And laugh at all the latest jokes
And be as silent as a ghost
I want this watchful world to know
I can behave
