Personality Crisis / Looking For A Kiss
New York Dolls Lyrics

Well we can't take it this week
We can't handle the stress this week

And her friends don't want another speech
Her friends are tired of listening to her talk

Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
They are waiting for a better day to listen to her thoughts

All about that Personality Crisis
The song is about a personality crisis

You got it while it was hot
You were popular when you had a certain personality

But now frustration and heartache is what you got
But now you are unhappy and in pain

(That's why they talk about Personality)
That's why people discuss personality crises

But now your tryin' to be some no you got to do some
Now you're trying to be someone, but you have to work for it

Want to be someone who cow wow wows
You want to be someone impressive and attention-grabbing

But you think about the times you did they took every ounce
But when you were like that before, it took too much out of you

When it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
It's embarrassing when you get so upset that you start to yell

You got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
Now you have to be different and contradict your previous behavior

All about that Personality Crisis
The song is still talking about a personality crisis

Break
This is a brief break in the music

And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
You feel like a beautiful and talented dancer

Change on into the wolfman howlin' at the moon hooww!
But you can also feel like a completely different person, like a werewolf howling at the moon

Now with all the crossin' fingers that mother nature says
Now they are hoping that Mother Nature will come through for them

Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
Your life becomes cluttered with friendships

That personality everything starts to blend
All the different aspects of your personality start to mix together

Personality when your mind starts to blend
You start to feel like you are losing your sense of self

Personality impression of a friend,
Your friends' opinions start to shape your personality

Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Even the opinions of your friends' friends can affect you

Personality wonderin' how celebrities ever met
You start to think about how famous people even become friends

(Look and find out on television)
You might try to learn about their friendships by watching TV

Personality Crisis
The song returns to discussing the personality crisis

Frustration and heartache is all you got, don't you worry
You might feel frustrated and heartbroken, but it's okay

Personality crisis please don't cry
The song reassures you not to cry about the personality crisis

It's just a personality crisis, please don't stop
It's just a temporary crisis and you shouldn't give up

Because you walk a personality
Your personality is important and affects how you present yourself

Talk a personality
Your personality affects how you communicate and interact with others
