oh o oh o oh o oh o
oh o oh o oh o oh o

just a little bit older than me
just a little bit stronger than me
i used to love you but now i see
you only stood in my sun

talk about how i'd be dead without you
bring the fear when i start to doubt you
oh save the breath in your lung
i know you're trying to keep me young

it's your excuse to treat me rough
but i'll prove to you i'm twice as tough
oh let's see what i do
when now i'm nowhere near you

here's me laying down the law
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more
it ain't gonna be like the way that it was before
i used to think i was something
i used to think i was but now i'm sure

i must admit was a little be scared
about all the demons and the snakes out there
but what did i know
only what you told me was so

beware of these and beware of those
better shut your eyes better hold your nose
oh oh oh oh oh
little joe you can't face the world alone

it's your excuse to treat me rough
but i'll prove to you i'm twice as tough
oh let's see what i do
when now i'm nowhere near you

here's me laying down the law
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more
it ain't gonna be like the way that it was before
i used to think i was something
i used to think i was but now i'm sure

this is my time
i'm gonna make mistakes and they'll be mine
i'm gonna make mistakes and i'll still be fine
you'll see

you want to take that away from me
tell me i can't see what i know i can see
tell me i can't be what i know i can be

but it's you
your fear that your best days are through
last chance is due
oh overdue

here's me laying down the law
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no
it ain't gonna be like the way that it was before
i used to think i was something
i used to think i was but now i'm sure

here's me laying down the law
you don't push me around
you don't push me around
it ain't gonna be like the way that it was before
i used to think i was something
i used to think i was

you don't push me around
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more

you don't push me around
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more

you don't push me around
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more

you don't push me around
you don't push me around
you don't push me around no more

you don't push me around
