Lady Let It Lie Lyrics - Fish

You should have listened to what your mother said 

You should have listened to what your father told you to do 

But you always did just what you always wanted to do 

Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage 

And for half your life you were wishing you were half your age 

Lady let it lie 

It's hard putting down your family roots when you're living in 

A mobile home, but there's always blood even in a rolling stone 

You squeezed me hard for the white collar dream 

But you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and its choking me 

Lady let it lie 

Chorus 

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys 

I don't want to be me no more 

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world 

I don't want to be me no more 

They once said I was a rising star declaring me a bright contender 

When it all worked out I was just a pretender 

I could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfied 

But why you got to take it out on a guy that tried 

But surely there's something left, something worth fighting for 

Something out of all this mess that's worth building on 

Maybe we can start again, maybe give it one more try 

Or do we just walk away, and maybe fade and die 

Chorus 

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys 

I don't want to be me no more 

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world 

I don't want to be me no more 

I don't want to be me no more 

Me no more 

(Dick/Paton/Cassidy)
