The People I'm Not - Ariel Pink

Hey!

People, they talk a lot about it

But they don’t have a clue

What it means, it’s true

I am one of those jealous little guys

Who will try to beat you all day

But people, I’m not that way

I’m not that-

People think you can have it all

And people find other people

Who have what they don’t

I am one of those egomaniacs

Who know just what to say

But people, I’m not that way

I’m not that-

Ey!

Drop that little handbook

And take him off the street, no

Cast him in a special

On Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

him at the same

Cast him in a special

Down town

Ooh

Ooh-aah

He who tries to make a point

Misses the point every time

And every time I hit the nail on the head

It’s my heart that beats ice

I am one of those cold-hearted guys

Who say love is a weakness, babe

But people, I’m not that way

Hey, let’s get nervous

There’s a button on your shoulder

And I’m pushing it over and over

Hey, kid, what’s your name?

Hey, huh, the people I’m not

Hey, let’s play gin

(Okay)

I’m gonna love you if you play

But I’ll hit you if you win

'Cause it’s my game

(Who the hell are you anyway?)

Well, the people I’m not

Okay, losers win

It’s your turn

There’s a button on your shoulder

And I’m pushing it over and over

You make use of my time

The people I’m not

Okay, let’s get nervous

(You get nervous)

I’m gonna love you if you play

But I’ll hit you if you win

It’s my game

It’s my game

(Just as calm you down now)

The people I’m not

Okay, let’s play gin again!

There’s a button on your shoulder

And I’m pushing it over and over, over

Huh, the people I’m not

Okay, losers win

It’s your turn

You love to win

Don’t you win

It’s my game, game

The people I’m not

Let’s get nervous

There’s a button on your shoulder

And I’m pushing it over and over

Listenin'?

Who the hell are you anyway?

The people I’m not
