Do What I Say

Lyrics

[Intro] When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say [Verse 1] 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 [Post-Verse] Do what I say [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] My way [Verse 2] 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 [Post-Verse] Do what I say [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] My way My way My way [Verse 3] 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 [Post-Verse] Do what I say Do what I say Do what I say [Chorus] 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
