People all over the world
Are the same everywhere I go
I give in to this, I give in to that
Every day it bothers me so

Am I in a bad situation?
People take me to the extreme
Am I being used? I just need a clue
I don't know which way to go

So I took my problems to a doctor
So he can check it out, he don't know
Took it to a palm reader
So she can read my hand, she don't know

Five minutes later I started to understand
And I started screamin' and shoutin' and acting mad
No one can help me but myself
But I gave everything

It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me

Always wanting something for nothing
Especially what they don't deserve
Reaching in my pocket, I just got to stop it
Though they got a lot of nerve

Am I in a bad situation?
People take me to the extreme
They don't use rejection
So I need protection to keep my equity

So I took my problems to a doctor
So he can check it out, he don't know
I took it to a palm reader
So she can read my hand, she don't know

Five minutes later I started to understand
And I started screamin' and shoutin' and actin' mad
No one can help me but myself
But I gave everything I had

It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me

It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's the things I do for you
In return do the same for me
