Do the right thing, think it all through
Thatâs all I ever heard from you
My grown up, sensible, practical self
Right now I donât really need your help
That girl, I wanna take her home
You say sheâs nothing but trouble
And I should leave her alone
Hey, youâre not the boss of me!
I hate to break it to you
Iâve got a stubborn heart
And itâll do damn well what it wants to do
Blah, blah, blah in my head all day
But I ainât gonna listen to a word you say
Youâre not the boss of me!
All my life Iâve been your slave
You say âturn aroundâ and I obey
Iâve been a good, good boy
For a long, long time
Tonight youâre finally going out of my mind
That girl, she got it going on
I know you got your opinion
But I got one of my own
Hey, youâre not the boss of me!
I hate to break it to you
Iâve got a stubborn heart
And itâll do damn well what it wants to do
Blah, blah, blah in my head all day
But I ainât gonna listen to a word you say
Youâre not the boss of me!
You say no every time I wanna fall in love
You can talk all you want
But Iâm not gonna walk away
Youâre not the boss of me!
I hate to break it to you
Iâve got a stubborn heart
And itâll do damn well what it wants to do
Blah, blah, blah in my head all day
But I ainât gonna listen to a word you say
Youâre not the boss of me!
Hey, youâre not the boss of me!
