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.
Make me, go on try
Make me look you in the eye
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
Make if you can
I don't think you understand me
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
Chorus
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my life looked for somebody who
Likes me but won't put up with things I do
And you stand up to me
You get in my face
So close that I can taste you
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
When you slam the door
I want you even more
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
Chorus
Hey yeh yeh
You stand up to me
Hey yeh yeh
You stand up to me
Chorus
Make me if you can
'Cause I want you to be my man
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
Make me, go ahead
And I'll send you straight to bed
You don't have to do anything I say
But you want to
I don't have to do anything you say
But I want to
I don't have to do anything you want
But I love to.
