Don't Wanna?

It's not exactly a hidden golden treasure but I stumbled on this little ditty a few minutes ago in my Documents file. I feel it would be neglect of duty to leave it tucked mutely on the digital shelf for all of eternity when it clearly should be shared with all of you to make you laugh. And laugh you must because, oh my, well you'll see.

Perhaps my lack of actual musical verbage such as, (Slow Change Bridge Thing), has prohibited me from entering the next phase of music making? Or maybe it is the lyrical See Jane Run hot mess below that didn't turn heads at Capitol Records (oh yeah, I was there). There is just too much innanity to speculate but thankfully that is all in the past and we can all be better from never having to hear the accompanying audio that probably sounded more like a Glee member on helium than any Sarah McLaughlan or Indigo Girl.

(I'm totally looking for a recording of this. Be back with that if I can unearth it from the cassette tape on which it is most likely dying a slow and horrible dinosaur death.)

Oh, by the way, this is copyrighted (really? WTH?) so don't even think of sending it to PDiddy.

Don’t Wanna

CHO

Don’t wanna be a rich girl

Don’t wanna learn the hard way-No

Don’t wanna be a hypocrite

Don’t wanna be on medicine

VI

I don’t want to start another word

Sounding greedy all the time

It’s about to change right here, right now

Right before your pretty eyes.

You are happiest when you’re down

You are lovely without working out

You are a mess within your own skin

You are a gorgeous kind of medicine.

CHO

Don’t wanna be a rich girl

Don’t wanna learn the hard way-No

Don’t wanna be a hypocrite

Don’t wanna be on medicine

V2

Boy, you haven’t had the chance

To make any sense of this (no, not yet)

So let’s make cookies together now

And spill chocolate ice-cream on my couch

You are happiest when you’re down

You are so lovely without working out

You are a mess within your own skin

You are the most gorgeous kind of medicine.

CHO

Don’t wanna be a rich girl

Don’t wanna learn the hard way-No

Don’t wanna be a hypocrite

Don’t wanna be on medicine

(Slow Change Bridge Thing)

Believe me, it’s such a shame

To live anyone’s life this way-nooo

To become a living nervous wreck

To wait for someone else to jump in…

Come on in, please jump in…jump on IN-yeah!

CHO

Don’t wanna be a rich girl

Don’t wanna learn the hard way-No

Don’t wanna be a hypocrite

Don’t wanna be on medicine
