Lyrics
Don't Tell Me What To Do
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.
We tried and we tried but it's over.
Guess I didn't fit the image in your mind.
Now you tell me to find another lover,
oh but baby aren't you getting out of line?
(chorus)
Don't tell me what to do.
You've already said we are through.
I'm a page that you have turned,
I'm no longer your concern,
so don't tell me what to do.
I'll love you forever if I want to.
You're no longer in charge of my thinking.
You're already in love with someone else.
So if I'm in to all night honky tonkin',
well I'm a big girl I can take care of myself.
(chorus)
