Guy Nottingham - Leave Me Alone

I’m sick of hearing ‘bout the things you’ve done
I’m sick of hearing where I’ve gone so wrong
I’m sick of listening up to who knows best
I’m sick and tired and I need a rest
You talk so surely and you walk so proud
I have no problem with that, fair enough
But your opinions are so goddam loud
Why dy’a have to make things so rough and tough
So spare me your goddam lecture
Spare me your rod and cane
Though I’ll nod my head and "yes sir, no sir"
I’m gonna go my own way
No Mr President (no offence meant)
I just wanna make my own mistakes
Leave me alone
I can mess up my own life
Leave me alone
Or I’ll mess you up too
Leave me alone
I can mess up my own life
If you leave me alone
Then I might just not end up like you
You say I gotta look out for number one
You say that dreamers never get the job done
Do as I’m told and I could be good someday
If I do as you done, or do as you say
Now do you lecture me to show me you’re king?
Or are you preaching just to prove that I’m not?
I know enough to know that I’d not be here now
If I knew as much as you say you’ve forgot
Don’t wanna be unhappy
Don’t wanna be untrue
Don’t want things to be this way
Don’t wanna end up like you
So Mr Einstein (your words, not mine)
Don’t want what you got, don’t wanna be you
Leave me alone
I can mess up my own life
Leave me alone
Or I’ll mess you up too
Leave me alone
I can mess up my own life
If you leave me alone
Then I might very well end up like you
