When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do what I say      Don't do this don't do that   Don't you ever talk back   Don't speak with food in your mouth   Just keep quiet while the grown ups are talking   I'm not being mean I'm just being fair   It's just because I really care   You know that I love you   But shut your mouth you just have to do what I say      I don't want you to lie   You're much too old to cry   You're just to young to know   But when you're older you'll understand   You are mine I own you   Look at me I'm talking to you   Don't use that tone to me   So shut your mouth you just have to do what I say, do what i say      When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do what I say   When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do it my way, my way      I've paid to raise you good   Done everything I could so don't you dare to say   That I never cared about you anyway   I gave you food to eat   I kept you on your feet   I gave you all my good advice   Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done      You don't know anything   About my suffering   I went through a lot of pain   Just to get you where you are today   If I ever hit you   It's because I have to   You have done something wrong   And you deserve the punishment, you'll have to pay, do what i say      When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do what I say   When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do it my way, my way, my way, my way      Don't you ask me why not   Be glad with what you've got   Don't tell me you're alone   You should be glad that you have a home   Just look me in the eyes   You have to realize   I make the rules that's it   It's for your own good so you have to do what I say,   do what I say, do what i say,do what i say      When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do what I say   When I grow up there will be a day   When everybody has to do it my way
