| Why do they play so hard to get? | 
| Is there something they might regret? | 
| Is it better to just forget, just forget? | 
| If they only would let us know | 
| Then, we’d know just how far to go | 
| But instead they just tell us no, tell us no | 
| You, you always played the fool | 
| You always break the rule | 
| At every single school you know | 
| It always pulled you down | 
| It would always pull you down | 
| You, you never stayed the same (Never stayed the same) | 
| And now you take the blame | 
| For all the little games they play (No, won’t take the blame) | 
| And let it bring you down | 
| Why’d you let it bring you down? |

| Should I smoke or should I die? | 
| Somebody must tell me why | 
| Should I laugh? | 
| Should I cry? | 
| Won’t somebody help me? | 
| Don’t know what to say | 
| You’re makin' me better | 
| I’ve learned how to pray | 
| Change in the weather today | 
| Don’t know what to do | 
| Just makes it hard to lose | 
| The day passes by | 
| And nobody listens | 
| Nobody cries | 
| For anyone’s vision today | 
| Don’t know what to do | 
| Just makes it hard to choose | 
| Should I smoke or should I die? | 
| Somebody must tell me why | 
| Should I laugh? | 
| Should I cry? | 
| Won’t somebody help me? |
