Last night you and I started talking
I said that I needed some space
You know I've never wanted anything quite like I want you
But I won't if I can't make you see
You're not the boss of me
No you're not the boss of me
You call all the shots for me
And can't stop controlling me
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You say you want what's best for me
But you won't stop controlling me
I had all that I ever wanted
Or so it seemed
You changed- now our time together feels like living under
A joyless regime
You're not the boss of me
No you're not the boss of me
You call all the shots for me
And can't stop controlling me
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You say you want what's best for me
But you won't stop controlling me
I know what you want and I know what you think
But I'll warn you now that if we don't learn to float
Then we'll just sink
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
How can you want what's best for me
If you won't stop controlling me?
