lyrics

Someone tell me why
I do the things that I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

Someone tell me why
I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
When you're around me
I'm somebody

There is good reason I guess
Having it once gone to far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you wanna cry
Are you still being followed by the Teenage FBI
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why
I do the things that I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else

Someone tell me why
I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
When you're around me
i'm somebody else

There is good reason I guess
Having it once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you wanna cry?
Are you still being followed by the Teenage FBI

Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
I do the things that I don't want to do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
