Verse 1:
I’ve got my mother trying to reach me all the time,
and there’s nothing I can do.
I’d like to travel the world and find out truth about all kinds of things. There’s not a single tree out there that’s talking to me,
all the nature lovers they’re so full of it.
What’s the matter with all the angry, angry folks?
Chorus:
Give me back my youth, my strength, my happiness.
Doctor fill me my meals with pills so I can get on with myself.
Verse 2:
I want to sit, listen to Joni Mitchell and forget about’it all.
There was a man last week he tried to save me from myself,
but there was nothing he could do.
I force myself to attend all the family things but I feel lost.
Boy, they promise you it’s all gonna be fine when you turn 25.
But it’s not.
Chorus:
Give me back my youth, my strength, my happiness.
Doctor fill me my meals with pills so I can get on with myself.
Bridge:
No matter what I do, or where I go,
I now that I can only ever count on myself.
Chorus:
Give me back my youth, my strength, my happiness.
Doctor fill me my meals with pills so I can get on with myself.
