Well, I hear that there’s a party tonight And I probably won’t go but thanks for the invite ‘Cause I’d rather stay home and drink gallons of wine And that must be why nobody stops by Well, I get so angry when I go out They think I say too much and I should just calm down You can’t take me anywhere, so you hide me out And you ask why I think you never loved me now Why can’t I be more like them? The kind of people who go out of their way to make new friends Because I don’t give a good goddamn about you and I making amends Oh honey, why can’t I be more like them? You don’t believe me when I say I want to be alone You think there’s someone here when I don’t pick up the phone And now you can’t believe I won’t talk, honey, oh no Well, you’ll get used to it, it’s going to be a hell of a ride, though So why can’t I be more like them? The kind of people who feel sad when relationships end Well, honey, I don’t want you now but it’s not about him Oh honey, why can’t I be more like them? Why can’t I be more like them? Because they get away with shit I never will You think that I do these things to them just to be cruel? ‘Cause it’s always got to be about wanting another man Oh, but she just needs some space, why can’t I be like that? You just need to get laid, why can’t I be like that? Because I gave you everything I had All my cheapest beer and cigarettes And now you want your money back Well, I'm sorry baby, but I still don’t have it Why can’t I be more like them? The kind of people who can still manage to get upset Well, if you think that I'm so fucking emotionally dense It’s ‘cause I am But why can’t you be more like that? Why can’t I be more like them?
