I Don't Know What I Want
Raspberries
by
Eric Carmen

My old man says success is the
measure
Maybe so, but I don't need the
pressure
Not right now, 'cause I got
enough
Teachers tell me I don't lack the
brains
Ask if I'm under some kind of
strain
Well, that's too much
Man, I really
can't take it

They all say that I'm not
getting younger
And I'd better make up my
mind
Man, you'd think I was committin' some
kind of crime

'Cause I don't know what I
want
I don't know what I want
I don't know
what I want
But I want it now!

When I
talk, they just don't wanna listen
Then they
push me to make some decision
I can't make and
they wonder why
Everyone says I've got no
direction
They want me sent to a house of
correction
That's too much
Man, I really
can't take it

When I try to relieve my
frustration
Seems like nothin' I can do is
right
My mind is achin' and I'm sick of being
so uptight

'Cause I don't know what I
want
I don't know what I want
I don't know
what I want
But I want it now!

All my
life they complain that I'm just a dreamer
But
I can't make a move when they want my
blood
Then they say don't stop unless you're
comin' up for air
Well I don't know what to
do
Everybody keeps talking in
circles
Someone give me a clue

'Cause I
don't know what I want
I don't know what I
want
I don't know what I want
But I want it
now!
I want it now
Oh, give it to me
Oh,
yeah
