[Verse 1]
It's not the way that won't listen
Or the way you comb your hair
It is the fact that you are missing
How I feel when you're not there

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I went through all the months of January
Locked up in this cell
I'd like to be at home
But on my own I didn't do too well

[Chorus]
Look at me, I always get the blame
When I can't even learn to spell my name
I'd like to read, I'd like to write
But where I live, I learned to fight
So don't you ever say that we're the same

[Verse 2]
I don't need a doctor
Telling me I'm full of juice
It's not a statement that I'm making
But the plain and simple truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I went through all the months of January
Locked up in my cell
I'd like to think of home
When I'm alone, it doesn't work too well
[Chorus]
Look at me, I always get the blame
When I can't even learn to spell my name
I'd like to read, I'd like to write
But where I live, I learned to fight
So don't you ever say that we're the same
