Get off My Back
I don't want nobody tellin' me what to do, it's true
I don't need anyone around here tellin' me what to do
I don't want no man tellin' me what to say or smoke
I don't need any man around here tellin' me what to say
And I wish that man would get off my back
He's held me down too long
And I don't need no man like that around
I remember one time you knocked me down
To the ground, that's why I say
I didn't know then what I know now, mama, you
When I visit my baby we're not alone, you're there
You listen when I talk to my baby on the telephone
When I write her a letter you read it through, checkin' me out
You've even heard us making love, and I don't want you to
I had a dream when I was a boy
The ice and air were clear and cold
And all that I could hear and see
Were waves of the ocean and the spray in the breeze
Long ago and far away, before all the rest
I had a dream that I still loved ya best
And to the place, where the man ain't found
I'm going
I'm going, I'm going where the man ain't found; yes, I am
Yes, I am; yes, I am; going, I'm going where the man ain't found
I'd like to go where the man ain't found, if the man ain't found
He won't find me if I do something wrong
I don't need anyone around here tellin' me what to do
I don't want no man tellin' me what to say or smoke
I don't need any man around here tellin' me what to say
And I wish that man would get off my back
He's held me down too long
And I don't need no man like that around
I remember one time you knocked me down
To the ground, that's why I say
I didn't know then what I know now, mama, you
When I visit my baby we're not alone, you're there
You listen when I talk to my baby on the telephone
When I write her a letter you read it through, checkin' me out
You've even heard us making love, and I don't want you to
I had a dream when I was a boy
The ice and air were clear and cold
And all that I could hear and see
Were waves of the ocean and the spray in the breeze
Long ago and far away, before all the rest
I had a dream that I still loved ya best
And to the place, where the man ain't found
I'm going
I'm going, I'm going where the man ain't found; yes, I am
Yes, I am; yes, I am; going, I'm going where the man ain't found
I'd like to go where the man ain't found, if the man ain't found
He won't find me if I do something wrong
