You know kids, I wish every mom and dad would make a speech to their teenagers and say kids, be free, be whatever you are, do whatever you want to do, just so long as you don't hurt anybody. And remember kids, I am your friend. I would just like to say

See what you did to me Look at what you did to me Look at what you did to me Mother, please, all I want to be is just little me As a child, as a small boy I remember times as a child I knew

(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do) Now I'm just another one Singing that same song You're the only one I want beside me, -side me Only yesterday, you were beside me, -side me Don't you remember me, darling? When you lay down to sleep, do you still think of me?

This time will be the last time This time if you want me to come back, it's up to you But remember I won't allow the things you used to do You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line This time if I should feel unwanted, I won't stay Each tomorrow

Remember (remember) It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think what I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day I'll treat you real fine It's a hard world to get a break in All the good things have been taken But girl

Everybody wants to live forever It doesn't matter if you're heaven or hell bound Like whoa, whoa, live right now But who I am to say I just want a life we will remember We're living for today ‘Cause tonight we fight to take this world And make it all our
