<Instrumental Intro and sax>

What's wrong with this picture?

There's somethin' I'm not seein' here, yeah

What's wrong with this picture?

Somethin's not exactly clear

What's wrong with this picture?

Does it look like it's just another sting, sting?

'Cause it don't mean a thing

If it ain't got that swing, an' ring-a-ding-ding

What's <laughter> wrong with this picture?

Doesn't anybody see?

That's who ev'ryone thought

That I used to be

What's wrong with this picture?

It's only just hangin' on a wall

So you can go right back to sleep

And just forget about it all

Because

I'm not that person anymore

I'm livin' in the present time

Baby, don't you understand

I left all that jive behind

You can't believe what you read

In the papers

Or half the news that's on t.v.

All the gossip of the neighbours

Or anyone who doesn't want you

To be free

(Instrumental and guitar)

I'm not that person anymore

No-no-no-no, no

I'm always livin' in the present time

Don't you understand

I left all that jive behind

What's wrong with this picture?

It's only hangin' on the wall

Why don't we take it down

And just forget about it?

'Cause that ain't me, at all.
