I'm so sick of people tellin' me I'm special And I'm so sick of people tellin' me I'm kind And I know they're not really bein' honest Because honestly, I'm not that fuckin' nice And I'm so sick of people thinkin' that I'm lovely A little wholesome, happy girl that did it right See, you all seem to think at night I go to bed and cry But honestly, I'm not that fuckin' nice Take me to the west side, I'll be far away Where I can do what I want and I can say what I wanna say Take me to the west side, I'll be where I wanna go Where I can do what I want and it's the only place I know Take me to the west side, I'll be far away Where I can do what I want and I can say what I wanna say Take me to the west side, I'll be where I wanna go Where I can do what I want and it's the only place I know And I'm so bored of people startin' conversations The ones that never would have started them before People sayin' that they know me, we met once when I was four Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know you at all And I'm so over people sayin' I don't look right There's no place for you in music's all I hear But my song went number one in over thirty fuckin' countries And I'm sorry if that offends you, my dear Take me to the west side, I'll be far away Where I can do what I want and I can say what I wanna say Take me to the west side, I'll be where I wanna go Where I can do what I want and it's the only place I know Take me to the west side, I'll be far away Where I can do what I want and I can say what I wanna say Take me to the west side, I'll be where I wanna go Where I can do what I want and it's the only place I know You were in a band but it never really worked out Even if it did, they'd be calling you a sellout I wish we were kids so that we could all just pretend We're friends Take me to the west side, I'll be far away Where I can do what I want and I can say what I wanna say Take me to the west side, I'll be where I wanna go Where I can do what I want and it's the only place I know
