Bought her drugs and something nice
She began to mention rice
Later she said she'd concede

So I went and got my keys back
And then one day when I write
You will lie and say I've died

We're just babies when we meet
We're just babies
Strong words and big black birds

On the telephone wire
She said hey look over there
There's a car on fire

Debbie X I love you so
But there's one thing you should know
If he comes round here again

I will have to take my teeth out
Strong words and big black birds
On the telephone wire

She said hey look over there
There's a car on fire


Someone tell me why
I do the things
That i don't wanna do

When you're around me..I'm somebody else
Someone tell me why I act like a fool
When things don't go my way

When you're around me
I'm somebody else


There is good reason I guess
Having once gone to far
When you clean out the hive

Does it make you wanna cry
I'm still being followed by the Teenage FBI


chorus:
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why I do the things
That i don't wanna do
When you're around me

I'm somebody else
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why


Someone tell me why I do the things
That I don't wanna do

When you're around me
I'm somebody else
Someone tell me why I act like a fool

When things don't go my way
When you're around me
I'm somebody else


There is good reason i guess
Having once gone to far

When you clean out the hive
Does it make you wanna cry
I'm still being followed by the Teenage FBI


repeat chorus
