"Amateur" lyrics - NADA SURF

You made me feel like I'm ok, I could be happy
Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down

I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?

[Chorus:]
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry
I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try

I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely

[Chorus:]
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry
I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I've gotta try

[Bridge:]
When exactly are we?
I get the decades mixed up
I like the streets when they're empty
I can make the rest up
I can make the rest up
I can make the rest up

I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?

[Chorus:]
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry
I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try

[Bridge 2:]
Every day is New Year's Eve
Every night is the last night
Every day is New Year's Eve
Every night is the last night

[Chorus:]
You said I should get professional help, It always makes me cry
I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try
I've gotta try
