You say the word and I'll obey Until I feel like I will overload You make the rules, you make the rules But soon I will be on my own Now I'm going down my road, yeah You better think about it now I'm free From this moment I'm listening just to me Every day when you treat my like a kid, I'm not you're not you're little boy I'm not your little toy Every day when you treat my like a kid, I'm not you're not you're little boy I'm not your little toy Well I'm a man and not a boy I'm a man and not a boy I'm a man not a boy now I used to listen to your words, oh I thought you knew the best through thick and thin But you failed, you have failed Just look at the mess you're in Cause I made up my own mind I started thinkin for myself What you taught me, is going back, back on the shelf
