Written by Harlan Howard and Max D. Barnes
Oh we tried and we failed, and you left me
`Cause I didn`t fit the image in your mind
You tell me to find some else to love me
Oh now baby, aren`t you getting out of line
Don`t tell me what to do
`Cause you`ve already said we are through
I`m a page that you`ve turned
I`m no longer your concern
Don`t tell me what to do
I`ll love you forever if I want to
You`re no longer in charge of my thinkin`
You`re already in love with someone else
So if I`m into honky tonks and drinkin`
I`m a big boy, I can take care of myself
Don`t tell me what to do
`Cause you`ve already said we are through
I`m a page that you`ve turned
I`m no longer your concern
Don`t tell me what to do
I`ll love you forever if I want to
No, don`t tell me what to do
I`ll love you forever if I want to
