You saw me on the television; 
Sit and fight off all the visions 
Yeah, I guess you saw me stealin’, 
But you’ve no idea what I been needin’ 
You talk about when we were children; 
Not the kind of kid that you believe in 
You saw me on the television; 
Saw me on the television 
But that’s just the half of it 
Yeah you sought the half of it 

This is the life I live 
And that’s just the half of it 

You saw me on the television; 
Hangin’ out my dirty linen 
You’re entitled to your own opinion; 
Sit and shake your head at my decisions 
I guess the kind of songs that I’ve been singin’ 
Make it seem as if I’m always winnin’ 
But you saw me on the television, 
Yeah, you saw me on the television 
But that’s just the half of it 
You sought the half of it 

This is the life I live 
And that’s just the half of it 

Ooooh you know me; I’m the life of the party 
Beautiful people surround me; everybody findin’ love 
Ooooh you know me; everybody knows that I’m crazy 
Sticks and stones; they never break me 
And I’m the type that don’t give a [bad word] 

And that’s just the half of it 
You sought the half of it 

Yeah, this is the life I live 
And that’s just the half of it 
Yeah, you sought the half of it 
And this is the life I live 
You sought the half of it 
Only the half of it 
Ooooooooh Nooooooooh 

You saw me on the television; 
Saw me on the television.
