They said you led your life with a well-mannered state of mind
They said that you kept your eyes forward
And your feet were held by no bind
They said you were good for me, but I just can't see how they were ever right
I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thought
Ooh-ooh, I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk, but you ain't doing nothing
You said that in all the world, there were only two things you despised
The first was a coward, and the second was, was liar
You said that honesty was your policy, but that itself is a lie
Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life
Ooh-ooh, I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk, but you ain't doing nothing
Well, I say I lead my life with a well-mannered state of mind
I say I like to keep moving forward, and be held by no binds
Well, you may call me ambitious, but I don't see
How there's any other way to be
'Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away
Ooh-ooh, I guess your friends are just as fooled as you
And you talk and talk, but you ain't doing nothing
