[Verse 1]
Someone tell me why I do the things
That I don't wanna do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
[Verse 2]
Someone tell me why I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
[Chorus]
There is good reason, I guess
Having it once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you wanna cry?
Are you still being followed
By the teenage FBI?
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
[Verse 3]
Someone tell me why I do the things
That I don't wanna do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
[Verse 4]
Someone tell me why I act like a fool
When things don't go my way
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
[Chorus]
There is good reason, I guess
Having it once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you wanna cry?
Are you still being followed
By the teenage FBI?
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
[Bridge]
Someone tell me why I do the things
That I don't wanna do
When you're around me
I'm somebody else
[Outro]
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
Someone tell me why
