I've never been a thief   But I won't say I'll never steal   I've never been a star   But that doesn't mean I don't appeal      But I always read the Bible   But too seldom do I kneel   Well I disregard the writing   And I play just what I feel      So what do I care? Why should I care?   All I really want is something more than you can order   From a telephone, if they call I'm not at home   So write it off as another loss and let the world leave me alone   Let the world leave me alone      I've been a truthful man   But I won't say I've never lied   I've always had a plan   But somehow it never was applied      Never got my share of lovin'   I've always been denied   I ain't greedy, but I aim to take   What rightfully is mine      All I really want is something that I do not have to share   Hide it under lock and key so they'll never see   Or they'll never know and let someone else be responsible   And let the world leave me alone      People try to tell me I'm a dreamer   Wastin' everybody else's time   Movin' all around I'm just a schemer   Gettin' into everybody's way      Let the world leave me alone   Let the world leave me alone   Let the world leave me alone   World leave me alone
