"You Can't Rule Me" lyrics

Alison Krauss & Robert Plant Lyrics

"You Can't Rule Me"
(originally by Lucinda Williams)

You know I've got a right
To talk about what I see
The way too much is going wrong
Right in front of me

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too

You might expect for me to follow
But I ain't gonna fall in line
I tell you what, this much I know
The dotted line a-ain't been signed

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul and try to rule me too

Oh, take it on!

You might beat me, you might cheat me
And try to make me change my mind
You might stick me, you might trick me
I'm gonna tell you one last time

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too

You wanna go ahead and tell me what's good for me
You wanna tell me what I'm paying for
The game is fixed and it's plain to see
I ain't playing you no more

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul and try to rule me too

Yeah, man, I've got a right
To talk about what I see
The way too much is going wrong
Right in front of me

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money and try to rule me too

Let's go!
