Oh well, now don't keep telling me that I'm wrong

Well, I don't need your advice all along

The road that's straight and narrow

Get off my back, can't you see I'm low

You just can't seem to see my problem

I just keep passing it on

Oh, oh well, I'm just tired of being the fool

No more breaking the golden rule

For one and not the other

Don't boss me about, you ain't my mother

You just can't seem to see my problem

I just keep passing it on

Well, I'm just tired of being the fool

No more breaking the golden rule

For one and not the other

Don't boss me about 'cause you ain't my mother

You just can't seem to see my problem

I just keep passing it on

You just can't seem to see my problem

I just keep passing it on

You just can't seem to see my problem

I just keep passing it on
