By the Time You're 25

These lyrics are not "official" lyrics. They are "as deciphered" by me.
Other fans have also sent in suggestions, and when they do, I give them credit for it.
I spend a lot of time on this, so please, if you want to post the lyrics that I have below on your site,
or somewhere else, please email me and ask about it first.
Or even just say that you got them from this site... Thanks!

by the time you're 25
bills, another job, another baby
get a boring job
but yet, you're a lie
did you speak, did you want to rhyme
NO, no, no no!
fame is no way to survive!

I forget my heart can beat
in ways besides one, two repeat

I can't believe it, what you want for me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me

by the time you're 25
another record, another tour
you must be rich
baby you're a star
but yet, you're a lie
could you speak
leave us all behind
now
i'm not sorry that i beat you
at your own stupid game!

I forget my mouth can form
sounds that slide beyond locked doors

I can't believe it, what you want for me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me

i want, i want, i want, to get out
of this repetitious shout
i want, i want, i want, to get out
of this repetitious shout

i want, i want, i want to go out!
you're staying, i hope that's what it's about(??)
(i want, i want, i want to go out
of this repetitious shout)

i want, i want, i want to go out!
you're staying, i hope that's what it's about(??)
i want, i want, i want to get out
of this repetitious shout
