Don't Tell Me What To Do

(album: The One - 2009)

Don't you tell me what to do
When you know where I'd rather be
The only one I answer to
That person isn't you, that person is me

Don't try to make me feel bad
Oh yeah, that might've worked before
But I'm not falling for your act
No I don't need none of that
I'm just looking for the door

And you tell me all along that you like me
But I'm starting to wonder
Cause you never seem to want to be beside me
When I'm having my fun

Don't you tell me what to do
And more importantly
Don't tell me what I shouldn't do
No need to say to me
What you would do if it was you
'Cause I never asked for your sophisticated point of view

And don't you look at me like that
I'm doing everything I can
To keep my identity intact
I may be sounding like an ass
But I'm just behaving like a man

Why do you tell me all along that you need me
'Cause I'm starting to wonder?
I bet you're wishing someone else
Would supersede me
While I'm out having my fun

Your heart has a mind of its own
And you ain't learning a damn thing lately

So just get out, just get out
While you still have a chance
You'll find someone you love completely
Cause your heart has a mind of its own
And you ain't learning a damn thing

You told me all along you adore me
Still I continue to wonder
Cause all you ever seem to do is ignore me
When I'm having such fun
