To All the Young (Band)

I just want to feel good

...I don't care how

I just want to be liked

...In every room now.

I just want to fit in

...I don't care where

I just want to be part of the group

...I don't care what they're do'n.

I just want to be popular

...I don't care if I lie

I just want them to want me

...I don't care why.

I thought, if they want to be with me,

that means I'm attractive & worthy

...at least that's what the media said

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care a dime.

I thought those who want to kiss & sex me

before marriage, will always love me

...at least that's what the media said

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care a dime.

I didn't know that:

romance isn't love...

sex isn't love...

attention's not love...

french kissin's not love...

attraction's not love...

affection's not love...

passion's not love...

lust isn't love...

Us all selfishly using each other

But the media said it's just one "falling in love" with another

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care dime.

I thought there's no difference between love & sex

...at least that's what the media said

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care a dime.

I thought they'd always love me

if I gave them myself physically

...at least that's what the media said

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care dime.

They're all selfishly using me

Aren't I feelin good 'bout myself at least?

Never felt good about myself while sober

In silence I never wanted to be alone or

I thought I had to do whatever they want

To avoid rejection that would haunt

...at least that's what the media said

I didn't know the media lies

...and I didn't care a dime.

I was too desperate & insecure for fate to dare

...but I didn't know it

...and I didn't care.

I wish I had thought

I need to spend daily time

Receiving Love & Truth

from my Lord Jesus Christ...

If I'd cared a dime!
