Don't need no paper Don't need no pencils Don't need no love letters Cause I just wanna get along with you No beeper, don't need no cellular Though Digital's better, listen I just wanna get along with you Try me cause I'd be The one that makes you happy But the part that I don't get is Why me? You deny me Now I forced to roam this planet Sadly, lonely like some used briget You took my heartbeat from me This is the saddest story What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me Was it I loved you poorly? Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you Don't need no car Don't need no truck Don't need no vehicles Cause I just wanna get along with you Don't need no planes Don't need no trains Don't need to be passenger Cause I just wanna get along with you Try me cause I'd be The one that makes you happy But the part that I don't get is Why me? You deny me Now I forced to roam this planet Sadly, lonely like some used briget You took my heartbeat from me This is the saddest story What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me Was it I loved you poorly? Whatever it was, I just wanna get along with you Don't need these clothes Don't need this house Don't need this land or skies Cause I just wanna get along with you These eyes, don't need these thighs As a matter of fact this damn life Cause I just wanna get along with you Try me cause I'd be The one that makes you happy But the part that I don't get is Why me? You deny me Now I forced to roam this planet Sadly, lonely like some used briget You took my heartbeat from me This is the saddest story What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me Should have just stabbed it for me From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you Dear diary I remember like it was yesterday It was October 30 I know longer have any need for these worldly things I wanna go where he is I'll follow the fire in the sky And like that I'll be gone You took my heartbeat from me This is the saddest story What was wrong with my love? You took my heartbeat from me Should have just stabbed it for me From ashes to dust, I just wanna get along with you You took my heartbeat from me This is the saddest story You took my heartbeat from me Should have just stabbed it for me
