[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Jack Malloy came up to me
At a party on the hill
Sad expression on his face
He said though it grieves me so
Iâve been asked to throw you out
By the owner of this place
[Pre Chorus]
I said to him I wonder how come
You can turn on a friend
I think itâs so sad
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
But please donât tell me
Iâm an Indian
No please donât tell me
We will never be the same again
But if you tell me
Iâm an Indian
Then youâre an Indian too
That makes you an Indian too
[Verse 2]
For several years I have been
On the edge of every scene
A stranger in my town
And even though they say hello
They will not be seen with me
I guess theyâve never known
[Pre Chorus]
I wonder how come
They try to pretend
I think itâs so sad
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
But please donât tell me
Iâm an Indian
No please donât tell me
We will never be the same again
And if you tell me
Iâm an Indian
Then youâre an Indian too
Youâre an Indian too
[Verse]
I used to spend my money on
Trying so hard to belong
Iâll drink for you my friend
Sometimes I just sit and call
Every number on the wall
It gets you in the end
[Pre Chorus]
I wonder how come
They can turn me away
I think itâs so sad
We will never be the same again
[Chorus]
No please donât tell me
Iâm an Indian
No please donât tell me
We will never be the same again
But if you tell me
Iâm an Indian
Then youâre an Indian too
Youâre an Indian too
[Outro]
Please donât tell me
Iâm an Indian
No please donât tell me
And if you tell me
Iâm an Indian
Please donât tell me
No please donât tell me
And if you tell me
Iâm an Indian
