Don't Tell Me

Van Halen

It's ok, I'll do what I want 
If I choose, I can take the fall 
There's a choice, it's my destiny 
In my hands, yeah it's up to me 
I can drive 
I can shoot a gun in the streets 
Score me some heroin 
I can jump, be the sacrifice 
Bear the cross, just like Jesus Christ 

And I don't wanna hear 
What love can do 
No, I ain't gonna tell you 
What's right for you 

Is it right to take the easy way 
Close your eyes 
Get on your knees an' pray 
Now you're saved by a higher voice 
givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choise 
If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it 
It I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it 
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it 
I tried, I tried, 'til I'm satisfied 

And I... 
I'm tired of hearing what love can do 
And I... 
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you 

I've seen the damage done 
Down with the shotgun 
Don't stop the setting sun on my Kingdom Come ohhh... 

Is it right to take the easy way 
I don't know, I get on my knees an' pray 
Now I'm saved by a higher voice 
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choise 
If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it 
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it 
'Cause I tried, yeah I tried for it 
I'll try, I'll try, even die for it 

No I... 
Don't wanna hear what love can do 
No I... 
I can't tell you what's right for you 
Oh I...I...I... 
Tell you what love can do 
No I...I...I... 
Can't say but your time is through 

I've seen the damge done 
Oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun 
I fought the setting sun 
On my Kingdom Come ohhh...
