You can't tell me what to do anymore
cos I'm free as a bird and I'm glad to be 
who I want to be.

Cos I've been under the thumb for too long 
with youtelling me I've got it worng again, 
and you can't pretend. 

But I don't care what you 're thinking at all, 
stop trying to make me feel small, 
cos I think you're a big know-it-all. 

Look here darling, I'll never be you
cos it's crazy for there to be two of us
- isn't one enough?

But you keep trying to take over
and I'm not going to surrender, 
cos you've got some gall
and I think you're a big know-it-all. 

You can't tell me what to do anymore
cos I'm free as a bird 
and I'm glad to be 
who I want to be.

Cos I've been talking it over 
and now I'm looking for closure
cos it's no ball 
when you live with a big know-it-all. 
And I think you're a big know-it-all.
