My Way
Conehead Buddha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always stealing all my dirt.
Dog keeps messing up my lawn,
I find it hard to get along.
My friend, his wife is such a bitch.
The very thought just makes me twitch.
I try my hardest not to fight,
But am I wrong or am I right?
[CHORUS]
Just see it my way.
We're gonna be the best of friends.
Just try it my way,
We're gonna get along alright.
Just see things my way,
And the (?)method man(?) will see you through and...
Stop complaining, don't you whine.
You've got yours, I've got mine.
My girlfriend wears too much perfume,
Always stinking up my room.
Ten thousand products for her hair,
But I like her underwear.
I meet my friends out at a bar,
I'm the only one with a car.
Drink my soda all alone,
Drive their drunken asses home.
[CHORUS]
My father thinks that I am lost.
He should know 'cuz he's the boss.
Quite happy with his nine-to-five,
Gets mad when I stay out all night.
My mother thinks that I'm the best.
She knows better than the rest.
Glad to give you some advice,
That's not to argue when I'm right.
That's not to argue when I'm...
[CHORUS]
