I Do as I Please Songtext
von Monie Love

Why do fingers insist to point towards me?
Is there an observation I don′t know about?
I can't see clearly exactly what the hang-ups be
And when I break, I′m told there's no need to shout
I have to express exactly what I'm going through
Your stepping′ on my toes, so I have to let you know
Hypothetically speakin′, I have corns
You're squeezing ′em
Shed some light upon those who dictate directions
I know where I'm at, you get rejection
Injectin′ opinions of others is as fake as dentures
A whole brand new venture
Skip the lip about tips and breakout the force
Then bring the nagger to a halt
It seems you try to use guilt
To bring me to my knees
I'll do exactly as I please


I do as I please
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I do exactly as I please

Is it not my decision if I choose to be rebellious?
Don′t yell at me baby, cause I'll be quick to say to hell with this
You, you, you, everybody else too, telling me what to do
Get out my sight, get out my life, get out my view
How many clues do you need for you to leave me be?
I'll take my own chances to fit into society
Complications that arise, I′ll squash ′em
And those who give me spooky vibes, I'll watch em
Folks speak like they don′t have a life of their own
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
Before you try and read somebody else′s card
Check exactly what is going on in your backyard
Speak upon a note of which you will be spoken to
Otherwise, you know what you can do with your view
A dictator is the last thing I need
The reason is
I'll do exactly as I please


(I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I′ll do exactly as I please

Trust, a five letter word that's underestimated
Some people seem to use it loosely
But I'll let you know the true meaning of this has been reanimated
Against those who try to juice me, don′t gas up my head
And think that I′ll trust you telling me what to do
You think it is a must, well, I believe your time is wasted
'Cause I′ve tasted the taste of mistakes
And I've got what it takes to take care of this
Is this life mine?
I appreciate the gesture
But my life is not a mess just yet
And I bet you should practice exactly what you try to preach
Your own self you have to teach
But you′re tryin' hard to be large in what is not your business
So, I ask you, "What is this?"
Get yourself a life
Nelson Mandela is free, so am I
I do exactly as I please

(I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I′ll do exactly as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I'll do exactly as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want, I do what I want)
I do as I please
(I do what I want)
I'll do exactly as I please
