The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
