I'm changing, you don't understand Like all the words from Kerouac I'm standing still, even if the floor cracks My baby you don't have to hold me anymore You know what I do when I'm alone? You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong? You know how I got to where I am? Lemme, lemme, lemme Lemme show you how you do that I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da And you can go and do your thing I'm cool enough tolet you breath I feel the beat even when you're gone I don't need to be told where I'll be when I'm old You know what I do when I'm alone? You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong? You know how I got to where I am? Lemme, lemme, emme Lemme show you how you do that I Drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I still remember who I was A little girl without a chance Now that I'm changing The world I'm embracing Baby what are you gonna do with your lady? I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da I drum to the beat of my own machine I drum da, drum da drum da
