Personality Crisis
New York Dolls Lyrics

Well, we can't take it this week
We are unable to bear this week's circumstances

And her friends don't want another speech
Her friends are not interested in hearing her speech again

Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
Waiting for a good day to listen to what she wants to say

Personality crisis, you got it while it was hot
You acquired a personality crisis when it was popular

But now frustration and heartache is what you got
But now, you are left with disappointment and sadness

(That's why they talk about the personality)
(That's why the talk revolves around your personality)

But now you're tryin' to be something
Now you are attempting to be someone

Now you got to do something
Now you have to take some action

Want to be someone who cow-wow-wows
Want to be someone who impresses others

But you're thinking about the times you did
But you are recalling the moments when you were successful

They took every ounce
They took every effort

Well it sure got to be a shame, when you start to scream and shout
It's very unfortunate when you start to get angry and upset

You got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
You have to reverse all the moments when you were naive and carefree

(You was butterflyin')
(You were careless)

'Bout a personality crisis, you got it while it was hot
It's all about the personality crisis, you got it when it was trendy

It's always hot, you know, it's
It's always attractive, you know, it's

Frustration, heartache, what you got
Disappointment and sadness, that's what you are stuck with

I said I'm talking about personality, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am talking about personality, yes, yes, yes

Ow
Expression of exclamation or excitement (ad-lib)

And you're a prima ballerina on a Spring afternoon
You are a leading female dancer in a Spring season afternoon

Change on into the wolfman, howlin' at the moon, awoo
Transform into the wolfman, and howl at the moon, awoo

Now with all the crossin' fingers that mother nature sends
Now, with all the hope that mother nature sends

Your mirror's getting jammed up with all your friends
Your mirror is being crowded by all your friends

That's personality everything is starting to blend (not like moi)
That's the personality, where everything is starting to merge (unlike me)

Personality when your mind starts to blend
Personality, when your thoughts start to merge

Got so much personality, impression of a friend of a friend
You have so much personality, like an acquaintance of an acquaintance

Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Of an associate, of an associate, of an associate

Personality, wonderin' how celebrities ever met
Personality, curious about how celebrities encountered each other

(Lookin' fine on television)
(Looking good on television)

Personality crisis you got it while it was hot
You got a personality crisis when it was trendy

It's always hot, you know, it's
It's always a hot topic, you know, it's

Frustration, heartache is all you got
Disappointment and sadness is all you have

Oh, don't you worry
Oh, don't worry

Personality crisis please don't cry
Don't cry over your personality crisis

It's just a personality crisis, please don't stop
It's just a personality crisis, don't give up

Because you walk a personality, talk a personality
Because you possess a certain personality, speak with a certain personality
