"I Don't Do That" lyrics

You wanted me
To be who you be
But I break the rules
You preach but I don't hear

When you say when you wanna believe
My heart stops cause I wanna be free
I'll say what you don't wanna hear
Cause I'm the odd one out
Now listen

Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that
I don't do that

Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (own thing)

Work and fit in
No way you let me dream
You go, swim downstream
I'll jump out and scream

Stand back while we break your routine
And you go straight to the extreme
We'll say what you don't wanna hear
You're the odd ones now
So listen

Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that
I don't do that

Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)

I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)

I'll stick my neck out to piss you off
I ain't your toy, it's a brand new world
Screw status quo, you do love a fight
On the pillar of love!

Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that
I don't do that

Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)

I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)

I do my own thing
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)

I do my own thing (I wanna be free!)
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh) (In my dreams!)

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah
Watch me do what I want
What do you want me to do?
I don't do that
