Lyrics and translation
Original
I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started, I go to town
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to walk around like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody elsе
And I won't say that I feel fine like evеrybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
But darling, you know that I love you true
And do anything that you want me to do
Confess all my sins like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Yeah, and I don't want to walk around like everybody else
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Yeah like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Ha, like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
If you all want me to settle down
Slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you
I'm not like everybody else, no
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
And I don't want to walk around like everybody else
I don't want to live my life like everybody else
And I won't stay in line confined like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Oh, like everybody else (like everybody else)
No, not like everybody else (like everybody else), yeah!
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody else (like everybody else)
Like everybody (like everybody else)
Else (like everybody else)
