Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
I'm not a child, I'm a grown-up man
Don't tell me the logic of your twisted plan
You always tell me, what to do
Why do you think I'm such a fool?
Educating is so cool and slow
The victim's always the last to know
While I was smoking, I didn't see
You had your hook in right at me
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
When I found that job fresh out of school
I'll make you as my secretary fool
I thought that I was in control
The victim's always the last one to know
Ooh, I want money, at any cost
You're acting like you're a big boss
I didn't know what rut could be
Until you've got your hooks in me
Don't tell me what is good for me (don't tell me, girl)
What's good for me, is what I see (what is good for me)
I've had enough of your reality (your reality)
What's good for me, is what I see
Don't tell me what is good for me
You say your old man comes home each night
But when I get in, you turn off the light
You want me home, you don't want me
Misery love is getting me
You ain't no doctor, not even a nurse
Why are you acting like a voodoo curse?
This ain't no dirt, it's a cold-hearted fact
Keep foolin' my love, I ain't coming back
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
Don't tell
What's good for me
Don't you tell me, don't you tell me
Don't you tell me what's good for me-
For me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-
For me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me
Good, good, good for me
Don't tell me what's good for me
(Don't!) Don't tell me what's good for me
What's good for me
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
