Camille West - I'm Dyslexic lyrics

I was only seven

when I learned how to read

I got the education

every child is guaranteed

We read around the classroom

Teacher hollered "Next!"

I was only comfortabl

e

when reading Hebrew text

I’m dyslexic and I’m mad

D-A-M

Well I met a boy named Otto

I loved him for his name

‘cause backwards and forwards

it always looks the same

He took me to a musical

I gave him such a hug

I said "What a great production of

Annie Get Your Nug"

I’m dyslexic and I’m mad

D-A-M

Backwards forwards sideways

up and down and down and out

It’s all so topsy turvy

it makes me want to shout

"Is there anybody out there

who could lift this mental fog?"

I may not be religious

but I do believe in Dog

Driving down the highway

on a dark and stormy night

I hit the left hand signal

Of course I headed right

A cop gave me a ticket

and what was even worse

when I went to pull away from him

I threw it in reverse

Tish happens

D-A-M

Some folks think it’s a handicap

but I think that they’re wrong

‘Cause I get the backwards lyrics

in those heavy metal songs

Internet connections and pet psychology

the timer on the VCR

they all make sense to me

I’m dyslexic

Hot Damn!

M-A-D

I’m dyslexic

and I’m Mad

D-A-M
