"Chemical Heart" lyrics:
They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
They say it's on the tip of your tongue
You've been making up excuses since you were young
I don't wanna be your babysitter
I don't wanna be your five a.m.
I don't wanna be your Jake LaMotta
I don't wanna date your ex-best friend
You're standing on the edge of the world
You're walking down the street like you're this year's girl
I'm calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it's mine, mine, mine
Singin' nah nah nah, nah nah nah
I don't wanna be your Ike and Tina
I don't wanna be your remote control
I don't wanna be your Bernie Taupin
I don't wanna be your stepping stone
They say you got a chemical kiss
You're breaking down the atoms to get your fix
You're looking like a knife in the heart
Wishing that it's different is the hardest part
Singin' nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Have you seen your mother baby sleeping on the floor
A permanent vacation crying in the shower stall
I don't wanna be your ivory tower
I don't wanna be your broken home
I don't wanna be your plastic surgeon
I don't even wanna walk you home
They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
I'm calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it's mine, mine, mine
