I do now, I do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...

Don't try to change the way I walk

Don't try to correct the way I talk

Don't try to fashion the clothes I wear

Or re-arrange the part in my hair

Don't tell me to wear different shoes

Don't force me to watch the news

Don't try to make me choose my friends

That kind of thing...never mends...

I do now, I do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...

I do now, I do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...

Don't try to straighten the brim of my hat

Or go around pinchin' my fat

Don't try to make me any less crude or adjust my attitude

Don't kick me when I snore...try to make me sleep on the floor

Don't try to push me too far...I'll just end up goin' to the bar

I do now, I do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...

I do now, I do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...

Well I may not be rich...but I do know what I need...

Work my fingers to the bone...it's all for greed...

You do now, you do now, you do now know

What I did then...

So get used to it...cause that's just what I'm like...

You do now, you do now, you do now know

What I did then...

And it's just what I'm like...
