Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been biting off my tongue
My whole life
I been sweet, I been shy, I been dumb
But never impolite
Giving you the knife
To cut me down to size
Go on, gimme your advice
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
It's like dreaming in a life
Living in a dream
I been weak, I been mean, I been nice
Fighting back a scream
Listening too hard
Got the sweetest little heart
I'm gonna blow it all apart
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don't
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't
Yeah, it will or it won't matter
I don't tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls
[Verse 3]
Am I making any sense and
Do I really care?
If I'm not, if I got crazy thoughts
That you don't understand
'Cause I don't make demands
Just shake my hand
The way you'd shake another man's
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah
[Chorus]
You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don't
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't
Yeah, it will or it won't matter
I don't tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls
[Bridge]
Keep your pearls
'Cause I don't want your pearls
Baby, keep your pearls
'Cause I don't want your pearls
[Chorus]
You try to tell me what to do
You try tell me what to don't
I do what I want, when I want
If I do or I don't
Yeah, it will or it won't matter
I don't tell you how to spin your world
No, I don't try to tell ya
I don't tell you how to spin your world
Keep your pearls
