curious

I'm looking at up and down
and I don't know which one to believe
I'm tired of hanging around
I need to see what I can see

          'cause I am curious
          that's who I am
          and I'l be headin' off to nowhere
          unless you have better plans

I'm nodding back and forth
north and south, right and left
the answer is "of course"
if you ask if I'm bereft

          'cause I'm curious
          that's who I be
          and if you're trying to keep me in
          get the hell away from me
