I can see you're trying to turn me into something I am not
And you wonder why I'm being cold with you now
'Cause you have to accept me as I am
Yes, you do, you do now!

You're so cruel but I still love you so much
You should know you're tearing me apart but

I'm not changing for you or anybody else
You try n' break me but I won't let you pull my strings
I'm not changing for you or anybody else
So stop preaching 'cause it won't get you anywhere!
No, no, no...

Sometimes you make me feel like I am such a fool
You think you're right and everything I do is wrong
Things are different now, I'm not the kid I used to be
I don't need nobody to keep an eye on me

You're so cruel but I still love you so much
You should know you're tearing me apart but

I'm not changing for you or anybody else
You try n' break me but I won't let you pull my strings
I'm not changing for you or anybody else
So stop preaching 'cause it won't get you anywhere!
No, no, no...

I'm not changing for you or anybody else
You try n' break me but I won't let you pull my strings
I'm not changing for you or anybody else
So stop preaching 'cause it won't get you anywhere!
No, no, no...

Oh, no, no, no,no...
