A dancer stumblin, a wise man wonderin, a poet fumblin, I'm in the dark again
Trying to feel my way back to the light

You're poison seeping in, I'm filled with doubt again
Is that what you meant to do- when you dropped a cent or two
Like it's your job to tell me what's up

I made the mistake before of asking you what you thought too, but I was wrong

Don't tell me what to do
I'll do me, and you do you
Don't tell me what to do
Just cause you mean it don't make it true for me

You've got it figured out, you've turned it inside out, and deconstructed it down to little bits
Analyzed and turned this all to shit

You've reconnected the dots for me, the picture looks differently
I locked the door but forgot that you've got a key
It's boomeranged and smacked me in the head

I made the mistake before of asking you what you thought too, but I was wrong

Don't tell me what to do
I'll do me, and you do you
Don't tell me what to do
Just cause you mean it don't make it true for me
