[Verse 1]
Daddy's got his beer and he's glued to the television
Mama's in the kitchen with the dishes and the pots and pans
And I be in my bedroom contemplatin' all the living I'm missin'
Just waitin' for the day I won't have to follow someone else's plans

[Chorus]
I'm frustrated, my hands are tied
I'm frustrated, my brains are fried
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
No place I can hide

[Verse 2]
'Cause they see what they wanna see and no one ever knows that I'm lonely
I've got rockets in my sockets but I got no place to go
And in my dreams I find my one and only
Then I wake up in the morning and reality really blows

[Chorus]
I said I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My hands are tied
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My brains are fried
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
No place I can hide
[Bridge]
Don't do this, don't do that
Don't go out, come right back
Say no more, such a bore

[Verse 3]
You can go around in circles and never find the perfect lover
Steal a glance but never take a chance so you stay at square one
You make a big mistake when you try to tell a book by its cover
Yeah, I know I got a lot but I'd sure like to have a little fun
Fun, that's right

[Chorus]
I said I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My hands are tied
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My brains are fried
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
No place I can hide
I said I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My hands are tied
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
My brains are fried
I'm frustrated (Frustrated)
No place I can hide
