You can't tell me how to run my life down
  and you can't tell me how to keep my fitness sound
  you can't tell me what i'm doing wrong
  when you keep dialing and sing that same old funny song
  you can't tell me which way to go
  cause i'm six and seven and then some more
  
  like a dull knife that just can't cut
  just talking a lot and saying nothing
  and sayin' nothing, and sayin' nothing
  
  don't tell me how to do my thing
  when you can't do your own
  don't you tell me how to feed my boy
  when you know i'm grown
  don't you tell me her dress
  you can't tell me how to run my mess
  
   you're like a dull knife that just ain't cuttin'
  you're just talking a lot and saying nothing
  and sayin' nothing, and sayin' nothing here we go ...
  
  shape up your bag, don't worry 'bout mine
  my thing is together and i'm doin' fine
  good luck to you, just allow that i'm wrong
  just keep on singing that same old funny song
  then just keep on singing that same old funny song
  just keep on singing that same old funny song...
  
  keep on singin', keep on singin' ...n'
