Just like any other common boy,
I was pleading for attention
that was scattered like decoy, ya,
tongue in cheek, not to mention
As I began to sprout, and my
life was but a mystery
you mean wimp sold me out,
utterly and completely
Oh-Ohhhh, what made me prudent
Oh-Ohhhh, that made me prudent
I was forced to survive – by a daily strife
I was forced to hold on – never to go down
A burnt child drads the fire
I made my getaway
and you're exposed a liar, so
you'd better stay away
Just like any other common man, I'm still
longing for affection
as often as one can, still can't deal
with crude rejections
Oh-Ohhhh, what made me prudent
Oh-Ohhhh, that made me prudent
I was forced to survive – by a daily strife
I was forced to hold on – never to go down
I didn't ask you to
beat me up and black and blue
