I'm stuck in the middle
I don't get you, you're a riddle
What is it that you want me to say?
Would it make you feel better
If I did it your way forever?
Even if your joy brings me pain

I wish that you could read my mind
See what I'm feeling through my eyes
All the time
If I could turn the night to day
If I could make the seasons change, I would
But I can't do it, baby

'Cause I'm only human, I'm just a man
I wanted it all, that was part of the plan
But I'm filled with more regret
The closer that I get
It may seem easy, so why is it hard?
What's making you happy, is leaving me scarred
No matter what I do, I guess the truth
Is I can't please everybody, -body, -body
No, I can't please everybody, -body, no

Sometimes I wanna give up
'Cause I ain't ever gonna live up
To everything they thought that I would be
Think I'm just gonna do me
Sick and tired of being worried
Losing sleep over things
That shouldn't even bother me

I wish that you could read my mind
See what I'm feeling through my eyes
All the time
If I could turn the night to day
If I could make the seasons change, I would
But I can't do it, baby

'Cause I'm only human, I'm just a man
I wanted it all, that was part of the plan
But I'm filled with more regret
The closer that I get
It may seem easy, so why is it hard?
What's making you happy, is leaving me scarred
No matter what I do, I guess the truth
Is I can't please everybody, -body, -body
No, I can't please everybody, -body, no

I wish that you could read my mind
See what I'm feeling through my eyes
All the time

'Cause I'm only human, I'm just a man
I wanted it all, that was part of the plan
But I'm filled with more regret
The closer that I get
It may seem easy, so why is it hard?
What's making you happy, is leaving me scarred
No matter what I do, I guess the truth
Is I can't please everybody, -body, -body
No, I can't please everybody, -body, no
No, I can't please everybody, -body...
