They're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I gotta keep running The future's mine and it's no disgrace 'Cause in the end the past means nothing You tell me I'm free then you tie me down And from my chains I think it's a pity What did it cost you to wear my crown? You don't like me why don't you admit it I feel a little down today And I ain't got much to say But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there You know I don't care You know I don't care As we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I hope, I think, I know If I ever hear the names you call And if I stumble, catch me when I fall 'Cause baby after all You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name You're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I gotta keep running The future's mine and it's your disgrace 'Cause in the end your laugh means nothing D'you feel a little down today Bet you ain't got much to say Who's gonna miss you when you're not there You know we don't care You know we don't care 'Cause as we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I hope, I think, I know If I ever hear the names you call And if I stumble, catch me when I fall 'Cause baby after all You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name (Woo!) As we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I hope, I think, I know If I ever hear the names you call And if I stumble, catch me when I fall 'Cause baby after all You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name You'll never forget my name
