Verse 1

The Children at daycare

You've gone to work

As the clock ticks away

I wake with a jerk..

Its barren and lonely

and sometimes I feel its to loud

Even when I'm alone

It feels like I'm standing in a crowd..

Chorus:

Nope, I don't like it, it's just not for me,
I like people and places, and lots of things to see,
Smiles and frowns, and sad little clowns,
Theres not a thing that bothers me, if they are around.

Verse 2

There's that sound little voice

In the back of my mind

With a long list to do

and not enough time..

Then there's the voice that sings high

telling me to relax and be still

There'll be enough time to get it all done

Why not stop and wonder the sillouettes..

Chorus:

Nope, I don't like it, it's just not for me,
I like people and places, and lots of things to see,
Smiles and frowns, and sad little clowns,
Theres not a thing that bothers me, if they are around..

Verse 3

As the clock ticks on the wall,

and the voices in my mind argue some more

I starting think of you

just can't wait till you come in the door..

It consumes me so much

the feelings enough

that I feel out of touch

and find I've done nothing all day..

Chorus:

Nope, I don't like it, it's just not for me,
I like people and places, and lots of things to see,
Smiles and frowns, and sad little clowns,
Theres not a thing that bothers me, if they are around..

Verse 4

The children are home

and your done for the day

Lots of things to do

Don't know what you'll say

Fighting myself

for getting nothing done

Forgiving myself

for not wanting to be just one..

Chorus:

Nope, I don't like it, it's just not for me,
I like people and places, and lots of things to see,
Smiles and frowns, and sad little clowns,
Theres not a thing that bothers me, if they are around.
