"Who Says" Lyrics
Who says I can't get stoned? Turn off the lights and the telephone Me and my house alone Who says I can't get stoned?
Who says I can't be free? From all of the things that I used to be Re-write my history Who says I can't be free?
It's been a long night in New York City It's been a long night in Baton Rouge I don't remember you looking any better But then again I don't remember you
Who says I can't get stoned? Call up a girl that I used to know Fake love for an hour or so Who says I can't get stoned?
Who says I can't take time? Meet all the girls on the county line Then wait on fate to send a sign Who says I can't take time?
It's been a long night in New York City It's been a long night in Austin too I don't remember you looking any better But then again I don't remember you
Who says I can't get stoned? Plan a trip to Japan alone Doesn't matter if I even go Who says I can't get stoned?
It's been a long night in New York City It's been a long time since 20 too I don't remember you looking any better But then again I don't remember you
