VERSE 1
Well, it may seem ridiculous to you
The way I do the things I do
So very sorry friend
Ya got no box to put me in
And a tiger just can’t go and change his stripes
I fooled you once I fooled you twice
and imma do it again
Can’t keep a fox out the chicken pen
PRE-CHORUS
I’m a man who needs to go my own way, baby,
So don’t you go and try to change me
CHORUS
Tell me I can’t and you know I will
Tell me don’t go and I’ll keep moving
Tell me I can’t and you know I will
You can tell me to stop, and I’ll keep on grooving
VERSE 2
Say Woman you know it is what it is
I got my own beat that I’m marching in
And I can’t be tied down
I got eyes that like to look around
PRE-CHORUS
And I’m a man who needs to go my own way, baby,
So don’t you go and try to change me
CHORUS
Tell me I can’t and you know I will
Tell me don’t go and I’ll keep moving
Baby, Tell me I can’t and you know I will
You can tell me to stop, but I’ll keep on grooving
BRIDGE
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t
Tell Me I Can’t, Tell Me I Can’t, Tell Me I Can’t
CHORUS
Tell me I can’t and you know I will
Tell me don’t go and I’ll keep moving
Baby, Tell me I can’t and you know I will
Oh, But I got to, got to keep on moving
Tell me I can’t and you know I will
Tell me don’t go and I’ll keep moving
Baby, Tell me I can’t and you know I will
You can tell me to stop
