Eric Carmen - I Don’t Know What I Want lyrics

(eric carmen)

My old man says success is the measure

Maybe so but I don't need the pressure

Not right now cause I got enough

Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains

Ask if I'm under some kind of strain

Well that's too much and I really can't take it

They all say that I'm not getting younger

And I'd better make up my mind

Manyou'd think I was committin' some kinda crime

'cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now

When I talk they just don't wanna listen

The they push me to make some decisions

I can't wait and they wonder why

Everyone says I've got no direction

They want me sent to a house of correction

That's too much when I really can't take it

When I try to relieve my frustration

Seems like nothing I can do is right

My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight

'cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now

All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer

But I can't make a move when they wound my pride

When they say it must stop they push and pull me

I don't know what to do

And it's like I'm just talking through a cell door

Some one give me a clue

'cause I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

I don't know what I want

But I want it now

I want it now

Ohgive it to me

Ohyeah
