Don't Tell Me Lyrics


Planet Patrol Don't Tell Me

[Intro]
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see

[Verse 1]
I'm not a child, I'm a grown-up man
Don't tell me the logic of your twisted plan
You always tell me, what to do
Why do you think I'm such a fool?
Educating is so cool and slow
The victim's always the last to know
While I was smoking, I didn't see
You had your hook in right at me

[Refrain]
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see

[Verse 2]
When I found that job fresh out of school
I'll make you as my secretary fool
I thought that I was in control
The victim's always the last one to know
Ooh, I want money, at any cost [?]
You're acting like you're a big boss
I didn't know what rut could be
Until you've got your hooks in me
[Refrain]
Don't tell me what is good for me (don't tell me, girl)
What's good for me, is what I see (what is good for me)
I've had enough of your reality (your reality)
What's good for me, is what I see
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo...

[echo] Don't tell me what is good for me...

[Verse 3]
You say your old man comes home each night [?]
But when I get in, you turn off the light
You want me home, you don't want me
Misery love is getting me
You ain't no doctor, not even a nurse
Why are you acting like a voo-doo curse?
This ain't no dirt, it's a cold-hearted fact
Keep foolin' my love, I ain't coming back

[Refrain]
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see

Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see
Don't tell... [x15]
...what's good for me

[breakdown]

Don't you tell me, don't you tell me
Don't you tell me what's good for me-
For me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-
For me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me-for me...

[Hook x4]
Good, good, good for me
Don't tell me what's good for me

[Post-hook x8]
(Don't!) Don't tell me what's good for me

What's good for me...

[Refrain/outro]
Don't tell me what is good for me
What's good for me, is what I see
I've had enough of your reality
What's good for me, is what I see...
