Imagination's running wild I'm a man, not a child Can't seem to make something of my life Here I go again, down, down, down So you want to be someone But my love, you just don't know
I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down, no no no I'm chasing, some man's making It's just bringing me down
In conversations, about who you are The way you talk, boy, you're the star Can't seem to make something of my life Here I go again, down, down, down, So you want to be someone But my love, it just don't run
I'm chasing, some man's making It's just bringing me down, no no no I'm chasing, some man's making It's just bringing me down I'm chasing, some man's making It's just bringing me down, I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down
(instrumental)
I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down, no no no I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down down down down I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down, I'm chasing, but some man's making It's just bringing me down down down
