Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Someone tell me why I do the things

That I don't wanna do

When you're around me

I'm somebody else

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

There is good reason, I guess

Having it once gone too far

When you clean out the hive

Does it make you wanna cry?

Are you still being followed

By the teenage FBI?

Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why

[Instrumental]

Someone tell me why I do the things

That I don't wanna do

When you're around me

I'm somebody else

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

There is good reason, I guess

Having it once gone too far

When you clean out the hive

Does it make you wanna cry?

Are you still being followed

By the teenage FBI?

Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why

[Bridge]

Someone tell me why I do the things

That I don't wanna do

When you're around me

I'm somebody else

[Outro]

Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why

Someone tell me why
