Who Do You Want Me to Be Today?
When the school bell rings
the learning day is done
It's time to trash the books
and work on having fun
Through the door comes Jimmy
with hopes and dreams of his own
But little does he know that
they'll be crushed when he gets home
There's so much he wants to share
But his parents they just dont care
You see his daddy never made it
so his dreams are dumped on his son
And momma thinks she could have
If she'd never given birth to a son
Always telling him who they think he should be
Now they're left alone with a desperate written plea
That says, To Whom It May Concern:
Who do you want me to be today?
You never listen to a word that I say
What can I do but run away?
Who do you want me to be today?
She stares into the mirror
and sees that it's got to end
I'm gonna pack my bags,
and I'll never see him again
I can't believe the way he treated me
or that it went on for so long
But if this time I really mean it
Who will be there to silence the void?
So instead of trying to face the night alone
She dries her tears and picks up the phone
And when she hears that voice she breaks down and says:
Who do you want me to be today?
I swear I'll do anything that you say
Dye my hair or get down and beg
Just don't leave me alone tonight
(just don't leave me alone tonight...)
I'm sure you all mean well
Have you heard about the road to hell?
We've all got our own lives to lead
And it's on a different bread I feed
If you worry your lives away
How can you stand to wake up each day?
Not me babe, I'd rather play!
Who do you want me to be today?
That's a game that I just can't play
It's the same thing day after day
Who do you want me to be today?
the learning day is done
It's time to trash the books
and work on having fun
Through the door comes Jimmy
with hopes and dreams of his own
But little does he know that
they'll be crushed when he gets home
There's so much he wants to share
But his parents they just dont care
You see his daddy never made it
so his dreams are dumped on his son
And momma thinks she could have
If she'd never given birth to a son
Always telling him who they think he should be
Now they're left alone with a desperate written plea
That says, To Whom It May Concern:
Who do you want me to be today?
You never listen to a word that I say
What can I do but run away?
Who do you want me to be today?
She stares into the mirror
and sees that it's got to end
I'm gonna pack my bags,
and I'll never see him again
I can't believe the way he treated me
or that it went on for so long
But if this time I really mean it
Who will be there to silence the void?
So instead of trying to face the night alone

Not me babe, I'd rather play!
Who do you want me to be today?
That's a game that I just can't play
It's the same thing day after day
Who do you want me to be today?
