Time after time, they tell you what to do
See the sunshine
Don't you wanna go outside? (and do what you wanna do)
Do thing after thing and ask yourself why
But then you'll see through the naked eye

[Chorus:]
You've got to let me do my thing
What if I don't do what you say?
You've got to let me do my thing
I wish they could see it my way (way way way way)

Do you want to tell me what to do?
I abide you because I love you
Do thing after thing and ask yourself why
But then you'll see through the naked eye

[Chorus:]
You've got to let me do my thing
What if I don't do what you say?
(uuh uh uuuuh)
You've got to let me do my thing
I wish they could see it my way
(uuh)
