Say what you may
I’d rather you did but if you won’t
Leave your suggestions in a box at the door
You won’t find it easy here
Make sure your writing is clear

When I speak my mind
Must you always find something to reply with
Maybe I don’t want to color in the lines
Is it a crime
To do just what I decide?

I had all the questions that you never cured
My responsibility is to me and I’m good

Don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do
I got a perfect plan, 
It ain’t including you
Finally realized
Don’t like the games you play
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say

No more looking for a resolution
I’ve moved on to the next stage of my female evolution
It’s confusing that you had your chance and you chose to abuse it man
Guessing that you’re stressing
I hope you learned your lesson, because

I know I can love just the way that I should
My responsibility is to me and I’m good

Don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do
I got a perfect plan, 
It ain’t including you
Finally realized
Don’t like the games you play
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say 

Don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do
I got a perfect plan, 
It ain’t including you
Finally realized
Don’t like the games you play
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say

I know have all the questions that you never cured
I know I can love the way that I should
But my responsibility is to me and I’m good

Don’t tell me what to say
Don’t tell me what to do
I got a perfect plan, 
It ain’t including you
Finally realized
Don’t like the games you play
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say (x2)
