No one's gonna tell me how to live my life Doing fine No one's gonna tell me how to do it right I'll make up my mind And no one's gonna tell me how I can survive Put it up, put it up So I can keep fighting till the day I die Because I'm ridin' goin' 'round in your neighborhood You'd never thought you'd see me in your neck of the wood Barely sleepin' party more than we should The good die young so we're all misunderstood I never told the bad girls to go away And my mother gets mad cause the good ones never stay I told her that I'm trying to find my own way And it takes a couple girls just to keep me in shape I never seem to let it happen Could you imagine Someone tried to fix how I'm acting So I keep telling them No one's gonna tell me how to live my life Doing fine No one's gonna tell me how to do it right I'll make up my mind And no one's gonna tell me how I can survive Put it up, put it up So I can keep fighting till the day I die Well it's funny Some people try to change all of your words That come out of your mouth but they're never being heard You can try but they always tune you out So nowadays I don't really speak I just shout I keep moving so they never slow me down They talking in my ear but they don't make a sound If they silent you can hear the world turn A lesson in this life that everybody should've learned They never stop themselves from asking Could you imagine I live my life the way it happened So I keep telling them No one's gonna tell me how to live my life Doing fine No one's gonna tell me how to do it right I'll make up my mind And no one's gonna tell me how I can survive Put it up, put it up So I can keep fighting till the day I die They think they know how everything should be But I have figured out that it's not right for me No one's gonna tell me how to live my life No one's gonna tell me how to do it right And no one's gonna tell me how I can survive Put it up, put it up So I can keep fighting till the day I die
