(Just Stop) Telling Me Not To

1. I've got my own mind, so please don't try
Telling me what to do, what to do with my time
You know it's all wrong, but you hold on
‘Cause you're not a child anymore.

I really feel that you don't understand me
Come on out, try to see what I see.

[Chorus:]
You‘re the one who wants to
To say you didn't do
My mistakes, you're telling me not to
I'll find my own way through
Like you did too
So please stop telling me not to
‘Cause you wanna say you're just like the others
So I shouldn't listen to you
Just stop telling me not to
Just stop.

2. I've got my own clothes so don't impose
I know what I like so let me decide
Because it's not fair but you pretend
That I'm your little doll, (I'm not)
So won't you listen up?

I really feel that you don't understand me
Come on out, try to see what I see.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
All of you
You're just a killjoy, young boy
You're sending me to Mars
So let go
I wanna be myself
Without you looking over my shoulder.

Just stop telling me not to
Just stop…
Just stop telling me not to
Just stop telling me not to.

[Chorus:]
You‘re the one who wants to
To say you didn't do
My mistakes, you're telling me not to
I'll find my own way through
Like you did too
So please stop telling me not to
‘Cause you wanna say you're just like the others
So I shouldn't listen to you
Just stop telling me not to
Just stop… (oh oh oh oh)
Just stop telling me not to
Just stop… (oh oh oh oh)
Just stop telling me not to (I'm not your little doll)
Just stop… (oh oh oh oh)
Just stop telling me not to (You gotta let me go)
Just stop… (oh oh oh oh)
Just stop telling me not to
Just stop.
