Raspberries – I Can Hardly Believe Youre Mine lyrics

I Don't Know What I Want
Raspberries
by Eric Carmen

My old man says success is the measure
Maybe so, but I don't need the pressure
Not right now, 'cause I got enough
Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains
Ask if I'm under some kind of strain
Well, that's too much
Man, I really can't take it

They all say that I'm not getting younger
And I'd better make up my mind
Man, you'd think I was committin' some kind of crime

'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now!

When I talk, they just don't wanna listen
Then they push me to make some decision
I can't make and they wonder why
Everyone says I've got no direction
They want me sent to a house of correction
That's too much
Man, I really can't take it

When I try to relieve my frustration
Seems like nothin' I can do is right
My mind is achin' and I'm sick of being so uptight

'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now!

All my life they complain that I'm just a dreamer
But I can't make a move when they want my blood
Then they say don't stop unless you're comin' up for air
Well I don't know what to do
Everybody keeps talking in circles
Someone give me a clue

'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now!
I want it now
Oh, give it to me
Oh, yeah
