Lyrics

[Verse 1] Growing up, I never dreamed of clocking in and clocking out I feel like I'm being paid to lose my mind I'm getting older, feeling colder Like my youth is almost over And all my dreams are fading faster all the time [Pre-Chorus] All my life I've waited For a chance to chase this feeling [Chorus] Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up Yeah, life's too short I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh [Verse 2] Your blonde hair, those blue eyes Were as crystal as the ocean And I knew it, I could see you by my side When you walked in, it was over I felt sober for the first time When you took my hand, my dreams were open wide [Pre-Chorus] All my life I was praying For a chance to have this feeling [Chorus] Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up Yeah, life's too short I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh [Bridge] 'Cause I only ever dreamed about this With every test, I tried my best not to fail But they always make me doubt it Not this time, this one's mine, I'm not for sale [Chorus] Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up Yeah, life's too short I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh [Post-Chorus] I don't work here anymore, oh-oh I don't work here anymore, oh-oh [Instrumental Outro]
