Don't tell me where to go, don't tell me what I know, I'll go where I want to
Don't tell me what I like, don't tell me your 'wrong from right', I'll do what I want to
Got so many choices I should make, there's so many roads I wish I could take
I'm just trying hard to get away, but you leave guilt trips in my way
I mean, come on, I'm a grown-up now
And, I'm still here wondering aloud
When you will say, "there's no doubt"
When I will know that I'm allowed
When I'll know you're proud
When I'll know I am allowed
When I'm not tied down... by your views
There's no room for me to grow, there's no view for me to know, if you keep on blocking my road
There's no life for me to live, there's a lot that I could give, please take back your view from me
