Lyric I Don t Know What I Want

(Eric Carmen)

My old man says success is the measure
Maybe so but I don t need the pressure
Not right now cause I got enough

Teachers tell me I don t lack the brains
Ask if I m under some kind of strain
Well that s too much and I really can t take it

They all say that I m not getting younger
And I d better make up my mind
Man, you d think I was committin some kinda crime

Cause I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
But I want it now

When I talk they just don t wanna listen
The they push me to make some decisions
I can t wait and they wonder why

Everyone says I ve got no direction
They want me sent to a house of correction
That s too much when I really can t take it

When I try to relieve my frustration
Seems like nothing I can do is right
My mind is aching and I m sick of being so uptight

Cause I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
But I want it now

All my life they complained that I m just a dreamer
But I can t make a move when they wound my pride
When they say it must stop they push and pull me
I don t know what to do
And it s like I m just talking through a cell door
Some one give me a clue

Cause I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
I don t know what I want
But I want it now
I want it now
Oh, give it to me
Oh, yeah
