You can tell me to breathe
What to say when I talk
Climb on my back
Slide down my neck
And use my face for a walk
You can tell me to smile
You can make things worthwhile
Knee slap as I cry
Probably laugh as I try
To figure out what you're smiling about
Send me straight off to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life worth my while
Give me a reason to smile
Better hurry, and I hope that you will
But don't ever hold me down
Choose your life it's your choice
Fall asleep with the noise
Yell at me and the guys
When it's been one of those nights
And you're probably right
But when you open your mouth
The pretty words that roll out
Point your finger at me
You've seen the worst I can be
I hope you know what that means
Send me straight off to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life worth my while
Give me a reason to smile
Better hurry, and I hope that you will
But don't ever hold me down
I'm not the talkative kind, yesterday's behind
I believe that it's better that way
You send me straight off to hell
To find a story to tell
For you I'll go there, and you know that I will
But don't you step on my brain
It drives a man insane
And it's nothing to be laughing about
Well I've got nothing to prove
I'll be a fool for you
If there's anything I'll help you out
Don't you ever hold me down
You've got nothing to hold me down
So don't ever hold me down
