I used to drink a lot
I used to smoke a lot… still do
So what?! What's it to you?
And that's the way I'm gonna be
I used to scream a lot
I used to fight a lot… still do
Why not, boo hoo
That's just the way I'm built to be
Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
So if you're feeling froggy I'll slap you black 'n' blue
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if you try and put them cuffs on me you're gonna wake up lined in chalk
Girls used to jump on me
When I was 23… they still do
That's right I repeat they still do
Ain't got a thing to prove to you
What goes around, comes around
Goes around, straight on down
So take your best shot and pray you knock me cold
Only way, you'll ever shake me…
Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
So if you're feeling froggy I'll slap you black 'n' blue
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if you're dumb enough to swing on me I'm gonna knock your block right off
Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
And if you're feeling lucky, son I'm gonna stomp all over you
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if one more time you stinkeye me I'm gonna stuff you in a box
Me, I was born this way
Might even die someday… if I want
Ha ha, yeah we'll see… (Nope)
What happens in between don't blame me
You may think I don't care
That ain't the case I swear… cuz I do
About me, just don't care about you
That's the way I'll always be
Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
I drank your bar tab dry last night and I clipped your wallet, too
Think you can tell me what to say, think you can tell me what to do
But here's a news flash for you cuz I took your Mary Lou
