[Verse 1]
CThe door was open it was quarter to five
When you wAmalked into my house
With a Clook on your face like you own the place
When you Amsat down on the couch
You tried to Crearrange the furniture, rearrange my life
AmChange what I'm all about
CYou grabbed my remote, like I didn't have a vote,
Took the Amkeys and locked me out
[Chorus]
GI don't care what you say
GmI don't care how you feel
GI ain't never gonna be who you Gwant me to be,
Ain't gAbiving up the wheel
There's no Ebdenying,
Baby I'm dBbone with your Cbackseat drivingAb  
Say what you waEbnna say
It rBbeally don't matter to Cmme, no
AbI'm tired of tEbrying
BbWalking away from Cmsatisfying you
AbDo what you wEbanna do
It rBbeally don't matter to Cme
CDon't really matter to me
[Verse 2]
CLiving life wasn't such a fight,
Until you cAmame along,
CI never thought I was always right,
But with Amyou I'm always wrong,
CI wish that you could you only hear,
The Amway it's coming out of you mouth,
You just Ca-talk talk talk you keep spitting it out
But you dAmon't know what you're talking about

[Verse 1]

The door was open it was quarter to five

When you walked into my house

With a look on your face like you own the place

When you sat down on the couch

You tried to rearrange the furniture, rearrange my life

Change what I'm all about

You grabbed my remote, like I didn't have a vote,

Took the keys and locked me out

[Chorus]

I don't care what you say

I don't care how you feel

G G

I ain't never gonna be who you want me to be,

Ain't giving up the wheel

There's no denying,

Baby I'm done with your backseat driving

Say what you wanna say

[Verse 2]

Living life wasn't such a fight,

Until you came along,

I never thought I was always right,

But with you I'm always wrong,

I wish that you could you only hear,

The way it's coming out of you mouth,

You just a-talk talk talk you keep spitting it out

But you don't know what you're talking about

[Chorus]

I don't care what you say,

I'm only here for the ride

I ain't never gonna be who you want me to be,
