don't tell me what to do

don't tell me what to do

I have my own mind

my own heart

and I will not

keep them apart

don't tell me what to do

I know what I'm doing

and I know who I am

and frankly, my dear,

I don't give a damn

I'm here to give you the news

don't tell me what to do

don't tell me who I am

I know myself

I do

and I do not belong 

to you

don't tell me who I am

you don't really know

and you don't really see

that I am not who

you want me to be

I don't think you understand

don't tell me who I am
