You bought the book just for the cover
Put on the coat but it still don’t fit
You’re waiting for someone to tell you how to be
Believe in something but just a littlle bit
So, who’s gonna tell you where it’s at
Now that you’re on your own
Where you gonna find a reason to believe
Now that your cover is blown

You got the right downloads on your iPod
The ones that the cool people get
You’re waiting for approval from your friends
But they haven’t given it yet
So, who’s gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who’s gonna wash your clothes
Who’s gonna thaw out your little heart
When you finally discover it’s froze

You can’t decide if it’s right or wrong
‘Cause nobody told you how to feel
But that empty feeling late at night
Won’t be covered by pretending it just ain’t real
So, who’s gonna give you all the answers
Now that you think you’re free
Better take a look down deep inside
Baby don’t come running to me

What’s left for you now where you gonna hide
The untold story will never be told
It don’t do any good to say I told you so
You’re shopping for a bargain that’s already been sold
So, who’s gonna walk you down the aisle
Who’s gonna hold your hand
Who’s gonna whisper things in you ear
Directions to the promised land

Oh child what’cha gonna do
When the message won’t sink in
You never realise you’re just pretending
You’re always losing when you think your gonna win
So, who’s gonna love you day after day
Who’ll take you off the shelf
Ain’t nobody else will ever save ya
You gotta find it out for yourself
