Lyrics
Do As I Say
I have to think before I speak
Because you hang onto every Word I say
You always want to take control of how I live my life
It?s not the same
And you?re to blame
Chorus
Do as I say
Not as I do
Never wanted nothing from you
Make me suffer motherfucker
Step inside my head take control
And every night before I sleep
I pray to God your fuckin soul to take
Keeps me awake
I can?t believe at twenty-eight
You fuckin treat me as if I were eight
And you?re to blame
Chorus
And every night before I sleep
I say to God That you?re to blame
You?re to blame
You?re to blame
