Cyndi Lauper - Like I Used To Lyrics

I know you expected me to act just like a schoolgirl
Followed your rules just like a fool, wrapped up in your world
What's good for you, don't mean that's so good for me
What can I do but hang around and lose myself just like I used to?
Go round and round, just like a loose screw

Well, I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand
And take things lying down like before
Won't take your crap the way I used to
Ain't gonna be the way it used to
Alright for you, ain't alright for me

Maybe I was weak though the average person probably thinks
I'm stronger, when I need someone else
I shut out myself, scared to say the wrong words
What's right for you, don't think that's alright for me
You spread the glue, so I can't move and stick to you just like I used to
Go 'round and 'round just like a loose screw

Oh, I ain't gonna walk with my heart in my hand
Ain't gonna do it like I used to
Go round and round just like a loose screw
Alright for you, ain't alright for me, no

Every time you push me down
Every time you screw me around
Every time you do that to me
I'm my own possession
I'm my own possession
