Lyrics

1
Well You can't make me change my ways,
Shape me like a piece of clay,
Into what you think that I should be,
Well I am not a wind-up toy,
I'm a man I'm not a boy,
Still you keep on talking down to me.

chorus
If you're looking for a puppet,
That will dance upon your string,
Well Baby find another fool,
'Cause dancing ain't my thing.

2
Well I won't cower and I won't crawl,
I won't play that game at all,
You can call somebody else, Not me, not me, not me, not me.
(break)
3
Well I won't shudder and I won't shake,
I may bend, but I won't break,
Baby what you trying to make of me?,
Well I can't be somebody else,
I just want to be myself,
And I don't want you, always down on me.

chorus
Well there ain't no way that I'll let you keep me jumping like a frog,
You don't need a man around, you need a little dog.

4
I won't let you spend your time,
Always tryin' to change my mind,
I ain't gonna' toe the line,
Not me, Not me, Not me, Not me, NO!

(fade out)
