Song Description

Driving, edgy, up-tempo, sly song a la Garth Brooks. For male, female, or duet. The singer, accused by his or her mate of being a bossy control-freak, is saying, basically, "Same back at ya!"

Lyrics

You say you can't stand the way I have to be the boss
And I'm the biggest tyrant that you've ever come across
And it just drives you crazy how I never compromise
Well, I sure know how that feels, so I truly sympathize

(Chorus)
Well, I don't ask for too much
I don't make no big demands
All I want is everything,
Which I know you'll understand
I want the whole damn world to show me
The respect I think I'm due
I want everyone to do just like I say---
Same as you.

You say I'm the type that always has to run the show
Well girl (boy) you wrote the book on that, so I guess you should know
And you say that you're sick and tired of being pushed around
Well hallelujah, baby, at last we've found some common ground!

(Chorus)

And you say I'm just as stubborn as a mule
But it takes one to know one, as a rule
So go on, call me every name you've got
Kinda brings to mind the things
The kettle called the pot

Well, I don't ask for too much
I don't make no big demands
All I want is everything,
Which I know you'll understand
I want the whole damn world to show me
The respect I think I'm due
I want everyone to shut their mouth
And listen up
And do just like I say---
Same as you.
