He lives in his imagination with those friends of his very own
He doesn't get along with the outside world, he'd rather be alone

Sometimes when it's late at night, he starts to wonder why
The plans he made can never happen so all he does is cry

His parents, they can't understand why their son, he turned out wrong
He runs away from all the pain, forgets them when he's gone

He'd rather be all by himself because his plans they seem the best
He finally gets the nerve one day, now life becomes a test

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Mom and dad, I'm sorry
Mom and dad, don't worry

I'm not the son you wanted but what could you expect?
I've made my world of happiness to combat your neglect

Mom and dad, I'm sorry
Mom and dad, don't worry
Mom and dad, I'm sorry
Mom and dad, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say

Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say
Yeah-yeah, what you say, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
