Lyrics
Don’t tell me what you want me to do,
‘cause I don’t wanna hear another word from you.
You gotta let me do my own thinking.
You’ve been pushing me a long, long time,
and now I’m finally gonna give you
a piece of my mind.
And if you think you have a say,
you’re just dreamin’.
I’m not like you, not like you,
not like you and you know it.
I need to figure life out, to hell with your plan.
I’m not like you, not like you,
not like you and you know it.
I need something more,
can’t you understand.
I wish I could make it easier for you,
‘cause I remember when I had to choose
to go my own way, or follow my father... oh yeah.
But our legacy must be carried on,
it’s in our blood, it’s our shared bond.
We’re together forever
’cause you’re my daughter... hey, hey, hey.
You’re just like me, just like me,
just like me, but don’t know it.
And someday you’ll see you’re part of my plan.
You’re just like me, just like me,
just like me, but don’t know it.
‘Cause you’re all I’ve got,
don’t you understand.
And when someday, you finally take my place,
that’s a moment that I will cherish.
But I can never be what you want me to be
when this place reminds me of all that perished.
You’re just like me, (I'm not like you),
you're just like me, but don’t know it.
‘Cause you’re all I’ve got,
don’t you understand.
I'm not like me, (you're just like me),
I'm not like you, and you know it.
I need to figure life out,
to hell with your plan.
I'm not like me, not like me,
not like you, and I know it.
I need something more,
can't you understand.
