Lyrics
Say what you got
© 2016 Bruce Mills (SOCAN)
No one's gonna tell me what I can talk about
No one's gonna tell me how to say what's on my mind
No one's gonna tell me what I can think about
No one's gonna tell me how to do what I want to (do)
I don't want to waste my time on saying
Stuff I don't even believe in anyway
Let's agree to disagree and call it a day
Hey, hey, hey -
No one's gonna tell me what I'm allowed to wear
Or the color of the skin that you think I look good in
I decide what's right or wrong for me today
And I'm free to change my mind tomorrow if I feel like
I don't want to waste my time pretending
That I'm something that's not even worth defending
If you don't like it I say that's OK
I don't care - it's your opinion
Chorus
Say what you got / what you on your mind
Look in the mirror tell me what do you find
Speak with the voice coming from deep inside (you)
Say what you got / what you got on your mind
No one's gonna tell me what I'm supposed to like
And nobody's gonna tell me who can be my friend
And no one's gonna tell me what is best for me
Just because they think it's better for them
I don't want to waste my life pretending
Trying to be something just to make you happy
If you don't like me I say that's OK
I don't care - it's your opinion
No one's gonna tell me what I can talk about
No one's gonna tell me how to say what's on my mind
No one's gonna tell me what I can think about
No one's gonna tell me how to do what I want to (do)
No one's gonna tell me what I'm allowed to wear
Or the color of the face you think that matters more
I decide what's right or wrong for me today
And I'm free to change my mind tomorrow if I want to
Everybody in the world
Get ready to learn
When you give respect
You're gonna get some in return
