[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your social scene
I don't wanna be, be in your front seat girl
I know I'm your recruit, but I ain't gonna follow suit

[Pre-Chorus]
You got Morrissey Joy Division on CD
But I don't go for them, I can't move to that beat
I like Marvin Gaye and gospel music, my soul and my heart
But you call it noise, always spoil my favorite parts

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be caught in your social machine
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
It's not my scene, I don't need your company

[Verse 2]
You're skipping school cause it's cool, but it's not for me
I learned to dream, learned to read at this old academy
You're out to make every man your fleeting dream
But I'm a, a one-man woman, I'm all down with monogamy

[Pre-Chorus]
You cuss up and you curse so they think that you're rough and tough
But I like Shakespeare and I find "Dammit!" heavy enough
You like new age, all the rage, philosophy
But I don't read my palms, I read the psalms, they speak to me
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be caught in your social machine
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
It's not my scene, all of that aristocracy

[Bridge]
It's not you, maybe I'm just too pedantic
I'm a self-confessed idealist and romantic
You say, "Join the gang, be my yang and I'll be your yin"
But try as I might I'm not your type, I don't fit in

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
It's not your fault and I send my apologies
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your social scene

I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
You're a trip but I don't flip on your ecstasy
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
Trust me, you'll see, (We're yin and yang) that's not prophecy

[Outro]
Yin and yang, yin and yang, ooh
That's not prophecy
Yin and yang, yin and yang, ooh, ooh (x7)
