Why must you insist on constant analysis?
Why can't you just get over it
Got a mind of my own, I cannot be your clone
I've got my own road to follow

Don't try to change my ways, don't try to twist my fate
Don't try to program me or censor the words I say
Don't humor me and then secretly disapprove
'Cause it will only turn me off and against you

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me
(Don't try to pass sentence on me)

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me

Your endless scrutiny will cause my mutiny
Your rule, your reign is just for a day
Here's where I make my stand, you never stood a chance
I will not do that song and dance

Don't try to change my ways, don't try to twist my fate
Don't try to program me or censor the words I say
Don't humor me and then secretly disapprove
'Cause it will only turn me off and against you

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me
(Don't try to pass sentence on me)

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me
Don't try to pass sentence on me

Try and make me over now, you'll only drag us both down
Somewhere neither of us wants to be
Respect how I live my life and I'll consider your advice
'Cause it will mean so much more to me

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me
(Don't try to pass sentence on me)

Don't try to be my judge and jury
(Don't try to be my judge and jury)
Don't try to pass sentence on me
Don't try to pass sentence on me
