Personality Crisis


Personality Crisis

Well, we can't take her this week
And her friends don't want another speech
Hopin' for her that someday they'll hear what she's gotta say

All about that personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you've got
You know I'm talkin' 'bout her personality

Well, now you're tryin' to be someone, now you gotta do something
Wanna be someone who cou-ou-ounts
But you're thinkin' 'bout the times you did, they took every ounce
Well, it sure gotta be a shame when you start to scream and shout
You gotta contradict all those times you butterflied about
You was butterflyin'

About a personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot, you know, but frustration and heartache is what you've got
I'm tryin' to talk about personality

And you're a prima-ballerina on a spring afternoon
Change on into the wolf-man, howlin' at the moon

About a personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot, you know, but frustration and heartache is what you've got
I'm talking 'bout a personality

Now, with all the cards of fate that mother nature sends
Your mirror's gettin' jammed up with all your friends
That's personality, every scene is startin' to blend
Personality, when your mind starts to bend
Got so much personality, flashin' on a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality, wonderin' how celebreties ever mend, looking fine on television

Personality crisis
You got it while it was hot
It's always hot, you know, but frustration and heartache is all you've got
Don't you worry, it's just a personality crisis, please don't cry
Don't you worry, it's just a personality crisis, please don't stop
Because you walk with personality, talk with personality
