A little girl who loved to watch the stars
She was held down and told it was too far
The said, who do you think you are?
You should be glad, if some guy, takes you in his car, so she said
What do I gotta know about how I gotta be doin'
What do I gotta say, so I know how to put you in
What do I gotta be doin', how do I know you all
A boy who tried, to be a man
On a stage, with a guitar, in his hands
Something else, than the path that was laid
Remember son, you'll have a life, with a job and bills to pay, and he said
What do I gotta know about how I gotta be doin'
What do I gotta say so I know how to put you in
What do I gotta be doin', how do I know to please you all
Brought into this world with no way out
Like a stillborn, with the need to shout
No way up, and no way down, no way at it at all
Tryin' to make a stand, but doomed to fall. Come on!
Now what did they say? What did they say?
Well the said yeah, and the said no
What do I gotta know about how I gotta be doin'
How do I gotta say it so I know how to put you in
What do I gotta be doin', how do I please you all
What do I gotta know about how I gotta be doin'
How do I please you all, oh yeah
