The Isolation Of Mister Lyrics - Plain Spoken - John Mellencamp

Never looked forward to the future 

Never enjoyed where I've been 

Couldn't keep my mind in the moment 

Never really cared if I had a friend 

I always felt like there was something better 

Even when I had it made 

Never respected the job I was doing 

Never cared about money but I felt underpaid 

Saw so many people 

Walking out the door 

Never cared about being lonely 

Because I couldn't use you no more 

I said, go away 

I'm quittin' on you today

I always felt like sorrow was a lesson 

I always felt I needed to feel the pain 

I thought happiness was a transgression 

And I just took it as it came 

I never wanted to say too much 

To other people I did not understand 

Never made love with my heart in it 

Never wanted to make any plans 

Saw so many lovers 

Walk out that door 

Never cared about being lonely 

Because you didn't love me no more 

I said, go away, go away 

I'm quittin' on you today 

Photos 

Love 'em, leave 'em, then forget 'em 

Don't worry about 'em when they're gone 

That's the way I always played it 

Now maybe I played it all wrong 

Been so indifferent about so many things 

About my time and my rage 

Thought I was livin' a life of freedom 

But I was living in a cage 

And that cage bred with my lower self 

So many knots I did not untie 

They came undone by my faults 

And here's the reason why 

Saw so many lovers 

Walk out that door 

Never cared about being lonely 

Because I didn't love you no more 

I said, go away, go away, go away 

I'm quittin' on you today
