My mother used to treat me like a fool
|
Made sure I did my homework and I wasn't late for school
|
Told me exactly what to wear and how and when to cut my hair
|
But a boy can only stand so much then he has to make a move.
|
|
My dad didn't have too much to say
|
He had to agree with ma
|
It made his life much easier
|
But it didn't get me too far
|
He'd sit there in his armchair with his paper in his hand
|
And tell me not to answer back when I tried to make him understand.
|
|
So I said
|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
Telling me what to do
|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
I'm old enough to take care of myself
|
And I'm big enough to take care of you.
|
|
I'm gonna go to school if and when I please
|
I'm gonna grow my hair down to my knees
|
No more uniforms and suits, go put on my jeans
|
You're just my mum and dad
|
You ain't the king and queen.
|
|
My teachers never liked me, said I had a nasty mind
|
Always gave me extra work and made me stay behind
|
They picked the hardest questions for me the hardest they could find
|
So once day when I was old enough
|
I stood up and said I resign.
|
|
Don't wanna know about geography
|
I'd rather have pornography
|
Keep your history and geology
|
Gonna teach myself biology, the easy way.

|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
Telling me what to do
|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
I'm old enough to take care of myself
|
And I'm big enough to take care of you.
|
|
So I got myself an office job sweeping up all day
|
Licking stamps and making tea which I took round on a tray
|
I went into the boss and asked him for a raise in pay
|
He said ask me in seven more years young man
|
I'm busy go away.
|
|
So I said
|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
Telling me what to do
|
Who in the hell do you think you are?
|
I'm old enough to take care of myself
|
And I'm big enough to take care of you.
|
|
I'm gonna sleep in every morning
|
Get up when I stop yawning
|
Pick up my unemployment pay
|
Lay back and watch TV all day.
