If I told you that I didn't want to
You'd never understand
You'd be the judge, I'd be on trial
People stop to stare at me and tell me to dumb down
You'll never understand
I just don't want you around
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
You're not cool (don't tell me)
I can't live (don't tell me)
By your rules (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do
And you tell me that you want me
But I gotta compromise
Can't you understand, I'll never change, don't wanna try
There's no sense explaining to a fortress like yourself
You just keep complaining then you'll find somebody else
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
You're not cool (don't tell me)
I can't live (don't tell me)
By your rules (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do
Do I have to keep on sayin' that I just don't want your love
You'll never understand you're not the one I'm dreamin' of
Tell me that you love me but your love makes me so sad
You say you're thinking of me then you go and treat me bad
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
You're not cool (don't tell me)
I can't live (don't tell me)
By your rules (don't tell me)
Don't tell me (don't tell me)
What to do
Don't tell me
What to do
Don't tell me
You're not cool
I can't live
By your rules
Don't tell me
What to do
