I've gotta be breaking up with ev'rything I know
If I wanna break ground with anything I've got to show
'Cause if there's a person in the world
That I've got to please, it's me not you

I've got to stand up for what I've gotta say
Gotta be lettin' my inner light show me the way
To be as much of me as I can let myself be
Until my dying day

'Cause I won't sell myself to you

I was never the kind of person to follow like sheep
I'm not gonna lie in the bed you made for me
Sometimes the easy way is the harder way
To try to set your mind at ease

I've got to let temptations fall aside
Gotta be letting my heart say what's wrong or right
Still be as much of me as I can
Let myself be, as long as I decide

'Cause I won´t sell myself to you

I'm so sick and tired of everything you do to me
Say something new to me, like 'Do as you please'
'Cause I'm havin' a hard time when you do these things to me
Like I'm guilty or something, whatever you're trying to say

I'm not lazy or stupid or nothing
But I've gotta be pulling myself aside
To stop all the fussing and fighting my friend
I won't sell myself to you
