lyrics

Put the tape on the deck, but make sure you rewind it just a bit
Are you it? Am I it?
Keep on using the checks, it's only wrong if you tell them you did it,
I did it, am I it?

And I'm done, I've done as much as I can do
I'm drained and I'm strained, you'll work me till I've changed
I've made up my mind, I'm gonna be a videotape dropout

I wanna opt out
Don't let this get out, at least I got out
All of this is going down around me
If only you and I could have forseen that I'm your only one
Your only one

I've got a plan, it goes hand in hand
Not gonna be in a wedding band
You're so stunned, I'm not just an anyone

I wanna opt out
Don't let this get out
At least I got out
All of this is going down around me
If only you and I could have forseen that I'm your only one
Your only one
