Lyrics for Just Like Greta
Some days it gets completely crazy And I feel like howlin' at the moon Then sometimes it feels so easy Like I was born with a silver spoon Other times you just can't reach me Seem like I've got a heart of stone Guess I need my solitude And I have to make it on my own Well, I guess I'm going A.W.O.L Disconnect my telephone Just like Greta Garbo I just want to be alone Need to make some real connection Baby, something's just got to give 'Cause I've been too long in exile I've been grindin' at the mill Too long to decode all the secrets Have to get some elbow room Most people think that everything Is just what they assume Well, I know I'm going A.W.O.L Tell everyone I'm not at home Just like Greta Garbo I just want to be alone Well, I'm goin' out to L.A. I wanna get my business done Then I'm goin' on to Vegas Then I'm goin' on the run If anybody asked you have you seen me Please just tell them, "No" 'Cause I'm livin' on the outside And I have nowhere to go Well, I guess I'm goin' A.W.O.L Oh, disconnect my telephone Just like Greta Garbo I just want to be alone "Alright" I just want to be alone Disconnect my telephone Just like Greta Garbo I just want to be alone
