Don't Tell Me What To Do Lyrics

(Max D. Barnes, Harlan Howard)

We tried and we tried but it's over
Guess I didn't fit the image in your mind
Now you tell me to find another lover
But baby, aren't you gettin' outta line

Don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to

You're no longer in charge of my thinkin'
You're already in love with someone else
So if I'm into all night honky tonkin'
Well I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself

So don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
Don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to
