Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is my private life
I've got no friends to fear
I've got no problems
No cross to bear
If you can find me
Come and get me out of here
[Verse 2]
This is my private place
Everything is neat and clean
The skeletons are
Hidden in the closet
This is my private place
Come and get me out of here
[Verse 3]
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me
[Verse 4]
These are my private things
There they are against the wall
The dirty pictures
Religious objects
These are my private things
Come and get them out of here
[Verse 5]
This is my private bed
This is where I lie at night
Staring at a light bulb
Hangin' on the ceiling
Waiting for dreams to come
And get me out of here
[Verse 6]
Here in my humble room at night
I often wonder what goes on up there
What makes them run so scared
I often stare
At the people passing by
But they can't see me through my window shades
It's like I'm not even there
[Verse 7]
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
There's something dangerous I like
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
[Verse 8]
You know my problems aren't your fault
What I really want to know
Has it always been this way?
[Verse 9]
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
This is my private life
Come and get me out of here
This is my private life
This is my private life
[Verse 10]
This is my private life
This is my private life
