Don't Tell Me What To Do

(Janet Lee Myatt, copyrighted 2006)
Rock
RECORDED WITH MY BAND & MIXED AT BLUE SEVEN AUDIO,
FREMONT, CA

My halo’s crooked and I don’t care.  

The gloves are coming off, uh huh,

thought you might wanna be prepared. 

You’ve been hanging out                   in my head too long

Telling me your version of right and wrong.

 

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

‘Cause what you’re sayin’ it just ain’t ringin’ out True

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

Cuz this time it’s me honey makin’ the rules

 

There’s a pebble in my shoe, and it hurts 

I’m gonna take it out,                         uh huh, and erase this bloody curse

I’m gonna walk in my own shoes for awhile and you can walk

Down my mile this time if you want

 

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

‘Cause what you’re sayin’ it just ain’t ringin’ out True

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

Cuz this time it’s me honey makin’ the rules

 

My back’s been broken, I’ve paid a price

I gave it all away, uh huh, always tryin’ to be so nice

But the laugh’s on me, ‘cause who cares about that

If you disappear from your very own life, who cares about nice?

 

Angels weep…

Demons creep…

People sleep…

 

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

‘Cause what you’re sayin’ it just ain’t ringin’ out True

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to do

Cuz this time it’s me honey makin’ the rules
