A lot of people come to me  And talk at my face  Try to tell me all that's wrong in my life  They give me all of their opinions  And their strongly held convictions  And all of them sure that they're right  I'll give the truth, the whole truth  And nothing like the truth  'Cos confession id good for the soul  But bad for the neck  Bad for the neck    Everyone believes they've something to reveal  And they're offering me their advice  This can only help me get my life in line  They never stop to ask themselves why  I need some help, some guidance  Some backing and belief  But really all I need is a rest  And if you really want to help me  Just stay out of my way  I need some time to reflect  Just leave me alone    [Chorus:]  I'm not bulletproof  I'm not bulletproof  I'm not...    Now I don't take too kindly to your helpful hints  No matter how heartfelt they're meant  'Cos it usually means I've got some business of my own  That you want to get your nose in  Now that's a fact, you react  Anyway you like  And it don't make no difference to me  'Cos I've met your kind in every walk of life  And I want you to let me be  Let me be    [Chorus]    B.u double l e.t.p.r. double o f  I'm not  B.u double l e.t.p.r. double o f    So for all you instructors, you advisors  And tormentors I'd like to give a little bit back  See the only way I'll learn is to make my own mistakes  And that's an undeniable fact  I've got to fall and tumble  Bomb and then collapse  If ever I'm going to get it right  And you must stand and watch me  And never interfere  You got to let me live my own life    [Chorus]
