Do What I Say
When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say Don't do this, don't do that, don't you ever talk back Don't speak with food in your mouth, just keep quiet while the grown-ups are talking I'm not being mean, I'm just being fair, it's just because I really care You know that I love you, but shut your mouth, you just have to do what I say I don't want you to lie, you're much too old to cry You're just too young to know, but when you're older, you'll understand You are mine, I own you, look at me, I'm talking to you Don't use that tone to me, so shut your mouth, you just have to do what I say Do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do it my way My way I've paid to raise you good, done everything I could So don't you dare to say that I never cared about you anyway I gave you good food to eat, I kept you on your feet I gave you all my good advice Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done You don't know anything about my suffering I went through a lot of pain just to get you where you are today If I ever hit you, it's because I have to You have done something wrong and you deserve the punishment, you'll have to pay Do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do it my way My way My way My way Don't ask me why not, be glad with what you've got Don't tell me you're alone, you should be glad that you have a home Just look me in the eyes, you have to realize I make the rules, that's it It's for your own good so you have to do what I say Do what I say Do what I say Do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do it my way

I try to hide and deny my inner thoughts and true reactions By fooling myself with ill-concealed dissatisfaction I can't take it any more I can't stand the situation I don't want to be a victim of another confrontation I'll pretend that I know I need you to sympathize I'm so unsure of myself so please don't you criticize You can bend me and shake me you can twist me till I break And whatever you do I'll take the blame for your mistakes Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth When I need to shout you pin me down I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out You want to shape me up so that you can mould me in You want to fold me out just so you can fit me in You feed me full with your discriminating terrible lies What do you want from me should I believe in all your alibies I don't know where to go so which way should I turn I try to understand but you don't want me to learn You tie my feet to the ground there's not a chance that I can walk I want to scream but you gag my mouth so I can't talk You want to stretch me out just so you can pin me down You want to dry me out just so you can watch me drown You want to watch me starve so you can force me to eat And then you knock me down when I'm back on my feet

Don't to this don't do that Don't you ever talk back Don't speak with food in your mouth Just keep quiet while the grown ups are talking I'm not being mean I'm just being fair It's just because I really care You know that I love you But shut your mouth you just have to do what I say I don't want you to lie You're much too old to cry You're just to young to know But when you're older you'll understand You are mine I own you Look at me I'm talking to you Don't use that tone to me So shut your mouth you just have to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do it my way I've paid to raise you good Done everything I could so don't you dare to say That I ever cared about you anyway I gave you good food to eat I kept you on your feet I gave you all my good advice Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done You don't know anything About my suffering I went through a lot of pain Just to get you where you are today If I ever hit you It's because I have to You have done something wrong And you deserve the punishment, you'll have to pay Don't ask me why not Be glad with what you've got Don't tell me you're alone You should be glad that you have a home Just look me in the eyes You have to realize I make the rules that's it It's for your own good so you have to do what I say
