Smash Mouth

Dear Inez
Your exterior is so cold
Your story's been told
I've heard it before
You wanna get out
Don't wanna be down
Tied to the ground
You wanna slip out
You wanna go and have your fun
You got a son
You don't want none
Don't wanna be part
Your breaking my heart
As he wanders off
He ain't got none
Dear Inez
The kid is trouble at trouble
He's gonna push, all around
You wanna go and do your thing
You never have a wedding ring
You got something
Why's everything so rough
Why's everything so hard
Why's everyone so wrong
It's not me
You gotta believe
I know who you love
I only know how to push and shove
Give me a break
All I have I have to take
Never a hand out
You think you have me figured out
This is what I'm all about
You wanna go and have your fun
You never think of anyone
Don't do nothing
Why's everything so rough
Why's everything so hard
Why's everyone so wrong
So wrong
Dear Inez
Your exterior is so cold
Dear Inez there's something about you
You wanna go and have your fun
You got a son
You don't want none
I've been there trying and I don't give a damn
I'm gonna cash my checks
Money in my hands
No thanks the world is okay by me
If your gonna blame it on society
