I've worn suits that didn't suit me Shook hands I wouldn't shake Turned screws that almost screwed me Took pills I wouldn't take It's a hard one to swallow, but I'm done trying to follow the pack From now on I'll be choosing based on what I feel You can't win for losing if unanimous appeal is the target you're shooting for You might as well give your pistols back Please people please people please You can't please people please people please You can beg so pretty from your knees But you can't please people please people You'll draw blood from a turnip, eat a bowl of rainbow stew 'Fore you satisfy them all with the way that you do you Perfection is subjective, Debbie downer ain't your friend So go on, have your fun, don't let nothing break your smile There will always be someone to criticise your style Cutting other other people down is a means to a miserable end Please people please people please You can't please people please people please You can beg so pretty from your knees But you can't please people please people Come on everybody listen to me Please people please please please Even Jesus was preaching on the mountain side Tryin' to teach us about love when crucified And it only goes to show, someone's always gotta take offence Please people please people please You can't please people please people please You can beg so pretty from your knees But you can't please people please people Why won't everybody listen to me? Please people please please please
