Song lyrics

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say.

Don't do this, don't do that.
Don't you ever talk back.
Don't speak with food in your mouth
Just keep quiet when the grown-ups are talking.
I'm not being mean, I'm just being fair.
It's just because I really care.
You know that I love you,
But shut your mouth, you just have to do what I say.

I don't want you to lie,
You're much too old to cry,
You're just too young to know,
But when you're older you'll understand.
You are mine, I own you.
Look at me, I'm talking to you.
Don't use that tone to me.
So shut your mouth, you just have to do what I say.
Do what I say!

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say.
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way, my way.

I've paid to raise you good,
Done everything I could, so don't you dare to say
That I never cared about you anyway.
I gave you foot to eat,
I kept you on your feet,
I gave you all my good advice.
Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done.

You don't know anything
About my suffering.
I went through a lot of pain
Just to get you where you are today.
If I ever hit you
It's because I have to.
You have done something wrong,
And you deserve the punishment,
You'll have to pay.
Do what I say!

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say.
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way.

Don't you ask me why not,
Be glad with what you've got.
Don't tell me you're alone.
You should be glad that you have a home.
Just look me in the eyes,
You have to realize
I make the rules, that's it.
It's for your own good, so you have to do what I say.
Do what I say! Do what I say! Do what I say!

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say.
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way.
