everybody told me gem stuff's dangerous

I guess I didn't belive it

until now

dad always seemed apprehensive

and now he's really freaking out,what do I do?

I don't want that for you

(phone rings)

everybody tells me life is precious

on the planet earth

and that means you

when I have to protect you

what if somehow you get hurt

what do I do?

I don't want that for you

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh(4x)

what am I going to tell you?

you're better off not knowing

the trouble I'm in

I don't want you to worry

about what I've just seen

about where I've just been

you don't have to be a part of this

I don't think I want you to be ,

you don't need this

you don't need me

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh(8x)
