I Don't Wanna

Dead Milkmen · Now We Are 20 [2003]

One, two, three, four



I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Be a girl

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Be in the world



I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Cut your hair

'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Have to care



I don't wanna be with you

'Cause I don't like the things you do

No, I don't like the things you do

'Cause I don't like the things you do



I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Punch your face

No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Kiss your lace



I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Be around

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Fall and hit the ground



I don't like the things you do

I don't wanna be with you

I don't wanna be with you

'Cause I don't like the things you do



I guess you know

I feed the [incomprehensible]

'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Break my word



'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna

You to speak to me

'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna

'Cause a scene



I don't like the things you do

I don't wanna be with you

I don't wanna be with you

'Cause I don't like the things you do
