Don't Tell Me Lyrics

by Gabriella Cilmi

They said,
She's a young and shines things way too loud,
She'll be five for five run with the crowd,
Got me thinking what's this all about

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e64182-gabriella_cilmi~dont_tell_me_lyrics.html ]
If they'd ask they'd lie, you're much too proud,
You gotta toe the line run with the crowd
But what they're trying to say is just as loud

When I stood up tall they cut me down,
Pray for me to fall, push me around,
Gotta speak my mind, yeah, scream and shout,

[Chorus]
Ooh, don't tell me,
What to do, where to go or what is real,
Don't tell me, who to be, what to think or how to feel,
Gotta rise to make a stand,
I gotta fight for who I am,
I won't run or hide, this is me in time,
Don't tell me

Kiss my face goodbye ain't no more doubt,
Ain't no need to hide what I'm all about,
Got me shining, no matter what they say,
You don't like that, fine, well that's your choice,
Gotta speak my mind, I got a voice,
Did you not hear me when I said,

When I stood up tall they cut me down,
Pray for me to fall, push me around,
Gotta speak my mind, yeah, scream and shout

[Chorus]

Oh, you may fake and you may lie,
To get you where you can,
Oh not the change, oh no not I,
Beat you, to who I am,
You can take, what you like,
Won't make no difference now,
I'm gonna tell you one last time,
I'm gonna scream and shout!
Scream and shout!

[Chorus]

Don't tell me,
I'm not listening anymore, no,
Don't tell me,
Kiss my face goodbye,
Don't tell me,
Oh, what to do, or where to go, or what is real,
Don't tell me
