Song

Amateur
    
You made me feel like I’m okay, I could be happy 
Now I can sit not run away, stupidly laughing, 
Wipe out all self-pity, it’s slowing me down, 
Turning off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down, 
I walk around the city, out of my way, looking for something, 
I’ve got all that I need to save my day, so why am I running? 
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry,
I know I’m just an amateur but I’ve got to try.  
Oo oo oo, oh ee oh, oh eh oh
Oo oo oo, oh ee oh, oh eh oh
I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me,
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely,
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry,
I know I’m just an amateur but I’ve got to try. I’ve gotta try
When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up, 
I like the streets when they’re empty, I can make the rest up, 
I can make the rest up………I can make the rest up…… 
    
    
I walk around the city, out of my way, looking for something, 
I’ve got all that I need to save my day, so why am I running? 
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry, 
I know I’m just an amateur but I’ve got to try.  
Every day is new year’s eve, every night is the last night, 
Every day is new year’s eve, every time is the last time. 
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry,  
I know I’m just an amateur but I’ve got to try. I’ve gotta try
