lyrics

Well I know you have your ideas about just what I am to you
You keep on holding me in your mind, my life you play on rewind
I guess it's just a human thing to do

But for as long as you have known me,
sometimes it seems you don't know me at all
And I have just lately become aware of all these faces I often wear
So it's not like it's entirely your fault

CHORUS:
I keep on trying to explain, but it don't stay in your brain
It's not that much I'm demanding, just try to understand me
I hope these words will get through, I hope they're not misconstrued
What's good for me is not what's good for you

Here's a little piece of free advice:
For every face I wear, I pay a price
Just because I'm good at it, good at it
doesn't mean I like, like it
Just because you're good at it, good at it
Doesn't mean you should do it, should do it

I would never ever ever hurt you
I would never ever desert you
and the fact of the matter is I don't really want to claim damages
'cause all of that groundwork now works right to my advantage

CHORUS

What's good for me, what's good for you
Ohhhh

I keep on
I keep on trying to explain
but it don't stay in your brain
(Just because I'm good at it, good at it
Just because I'm good at it, good at it
Just because you're good at it)
I hope these words will get through
(All of that groundwork now works right to my advantage)
I hope these words will get through

What's good for me is not what's good for you
