Lyrics

This is my house
Either you will do what I say or you will get out
Who do you think you are?
This is my house, you will obey my rules
And be the type of son I want you to be, or you will get out
What? Then get out
Looking for relations in my own fascination
I see no open arms of love
I feel your resistance, now you feel my distance
I hear the echo of a dove
It's my world that you can't relate to
You say I lost God's gift of love
You look for clues and they seem to haunt you
Hear the whispers of the children crying from above
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (and I say)
Mommy, can you hear me?
Looking for relations, I can see my destination
I see the open arms of love
Slapped by your resistance, I .see no commitment
I'm just a prodigy of love
It's my life, I'll do what I want to
You may not understand my cause
I can see the truth that you just want to
Criticize me just because I don't follow your laws
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (and I say)
Mommy look around you, my life has changed
(I don't care what you say)
I don't care what you say about the way I am
I'm living my life my way (I don't care what you say)
(This is my house) I'm living my life my way
(This is my house) I'm living my life for me
(This is my house) I'm living my life my way
(This is my house) I'm living my life to be free
(Mommy)
I've already given up my life to live your way, it's not fair
But there's no compromising my beliefs
I can't deny my right to be me (you're cheating)
(The children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world
I will not change
I will not change (the children say)
I will not change
I will not change (for no one)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
It's a cold world, a cold, cold world (the children say)
Mommy
Mommy
This is my house
This is my house
I'll let you go, get out
This is my house
