Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Chorus] I thought you wanted to be my friend I thought you wanted to be my... When I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do [Verse 1] I'm just a man, that's all I am But I can take it just like any other can 'Cause I've been down with the criminal minded Oop, rewind it, I gotta go back now When I was known as the TV kid Sometimes I hid, and I looked out my back porch Never saw nothing, not worth nothin' up in the old days It took me a little while to realize the error of my old ways Clean and narrow is the sparrow that always flies straight I'm earning my wings and feathers, but I don't have it all together yet [Pre-Chorus] And I can't see through the shame, that's what I wanna do Can't get through the pain, that's why I'm (?) you And I can take it just like any other can... [Chorus] Yeah I thought you wanted to be my friend I thought you wanted to be my... When I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm vilified, I'm vilified [Verse 2] I'm just a man, that's all I am But I can take it just like any other can I learned to hate the public, I love it No one talks to me, like I'm above it, so shove it Because I was the bandit, El Bandito, kinda the fly one I tried to find a job before this, but I couldn't find one So I took it upon myself to think and be a changed man Reaping what I sew and treating my cancer with a firm hand Try walking over me now, see if I don't snatch you and catch you up In the web that has more bridges than that book you read [Pre-Chorus] And I can't see through the shame, that's what I wanna do Can't get through the pain, that's why I'm (?) you But I can take it just like any other can... [Bridge] I can see her, punk better grow up Twisting my mind, you better not show up In the bushes, tomorrow night The button she pushes, 'cause that shit ain't right And I can see her, punk better grow up Twisting my mind, you better not show up In the bushes, tomorrow night The button she pushes, 'cause that shit ain't right [Chorus] And when I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm vilified, I'm vilified
