Tralala

Mark Knopfler · Other Songs - Mark Knopfler

I'm different I don't care who knows it

Something about me's just not the same

I'm different that's how it goes

I'm not going to play your god damn games



Got a different way of talking

Got a different kid of smile

I got a different way of walking

Drives the women kind of wild



(He's different) I don't care who knows it

(There's something about him) that's not the same

(He's different) that's how it goes

I'm not going to play your god damn games



Not saying that I'm better than you are

Or maybe I am

All I know is when I look in the mirror

I like the man (we like the man!)



I'm different that's how it goes

Something about me's just not the same

I'm different that's how it goes

I'm not going to play your god damn games



I walk down the street in the morning and

Blue birds are singing in the old oak tree

Yeah I sing a little song for the people

Little song from me (tralala lalala lalala laaaa)

(He's different) I don't care who knows it

(There's something about him) that's not the same

(He's different) that's how it goes

I'm not going to play your god damn games



(He's different) I don't care who knows it

(There's something about him) that's not the same

(He's different) that's how it goes

I'm not going to play your god damn games
