Honestly I’m sick and tired of waking up
And trying to prove my name
Part of me just wants to fill my coffee cup
Step out the door and aim
At the dotted line
Do I have your attention now
Good is not exceptional
Learn to be more flexible sure
Also learn to say no
But never miss an open door
"Life is like a candy store
If you know what you want”
Do I have your attention now
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
Look out what you wear is what you are
But you can't care too much
Tie my hands together take the key a couple inches out of reach
When I calm down I can go
Do I have your attention
Do I have your attention
Have I already mentioned
That I'm stuck in suspension
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
Everything is free
Except the animal in me
