lyrics

Don’t Tell Me What To Do

Don’t tell me what to do
Just tell me how to do it
I’ll tell you what I want
And what I want to do
Just tell me how to do it

Clean up your room, how can you live in that mess
Put your iphone away girl, prepare for your test
Don’t forget your gym bag, say hi to your nan
Do the dishes, find your shoes, come on, as fast as you can
Look after that ipod, don’t leave it around
And do something with your hair, girl, you look like you’ve drowned
Clean you teeth, clean your face, clean up after the cat
Do as I say and honey don’t do that
Do this do that do this do that

Chorus

Pick up your clothes, come on, pick up your feet
Play with your sister and don’t try to cheat
Do what I say, girl, don’t do what I do
Why? Because I say so, don’t give me that look

Oh – in a perfect world
I’d be floating above your heads on a cloud of dreams
All I want is a place somewhere
Where I can build a world on hopes and dreams

Don’t do that, do this, don’t do this,do that
Don’t do this, do that, don’t do that, do this
Do as I say and , honey, don’t do that
Do this, do that, do that, do this ……

Don’t tell me what to do You can’t always do what you want
Just tell me how to do it Sometimes you have to give way
I’ll tell you what I want Sometimes …..
And what I want to do
Just tell me how to do it You have to do what I say
