Analysis of All I'm Really Looking For Is Me



I don't want to play,
I don't want to know,
   I don't want to be a part
   of someone else's soul.
I don't want to sing,
I don't want to dance.
   I don't want to hold your
   hand and give you one more
   chance.
If I knew how to laugh,
I would let you see,
   I'd take a photograph.
   Just to set you free,
Cos all I'm really looking for
                   Is Me.
