I played with the boys and scraped up both my knees
Playing soccer in the street, threw away my old Barbies
And you couldn't get me to like the color pink
NES until I die, the arcade Saturday night
Not going down without fight, you say it's wrong I say it's right
Because I can be whatever I want to be
'Cuz I'm gonna
Beat your high scores because I can
I don't need you to hold my hand
You don't tell me you don't tell me you don't tell me
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
I don't need you to approve
You don't tell me you don't tell me
B-52's blast in my ears drowning out all my fears
Played guitar to hide my tears, really hated all my peers
So instead of talking I wrote things in a book
Now I'm living on my own in a place I call my home
Never have to be alone, got my kitties and a phone
With a box of beer and a pizza on the way
'Cuz I'm gonna
Eat this whole pizza because I can
I don't need you to hold my hand
You don't tell me you don't tell me you don't tell me
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
I don't need you to approve
You don't tell me you don't tell me
