I Don't Know What I Want Lyrics - Singles - The Raspberries

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 

Man, you'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 

Then 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 

Oh, give it to me 

Oh, yeah
