Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do) Lyrics

It's OK, I'll do what I want
If I choose, I can take the fall
There's a choice
It's my destiny
In my hands
Yeah it's up to me

I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump
Be the sacrifice
Bear my cross just like Jesus Christ

And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you
Is it right to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved by a higher voice
Giving up, giving up, giving up your choice

If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
I'll try, I'll try, 'til I'm satisfied

And I
I'm tired of hearing what love can do
And I
Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
I've seen the damage done
Yeah I've heard the the shotgun
And felt the setting sun on my kingdom come
Oh

Is it right to take the easy way
I don't know
I get down on my knees and pray
Now I'm saved by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice

If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it
Cause I've tried, yeah I tried for it
I'll try, I'll cry, even die for it

No I
Don't wanna hear what love can do
No I
I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh I, I, I
Tell you what love can do
No I, I
Can't say when your time is through

I've seen the damage done
Oh Lord, I heard the shotgun
I felt the setting sun on my kingdom come
Oh

Hey, hey, hey

Don't tell me what love can do
Hey, hey, hey
Uh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't tell me what love can do
Alright
Hey, hey, hey
What love can do
