Song Lyrics

Whenever I buy a lighter in the store,
You take it away.
I cannot find the ashtray anymore.
Did you take it away?
Smoking is not good for me,
It damages my health.
If you don't give me nicotine,
Well, then I ask somebody else.

And you say, what you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to.
And you say, what you see
Is not the way that you want me to be.

Whenever I pour myself a glass of wine,
You take it away.
The bottle I bought today,
I cannot find.
Did you take it away?
Drinking is not good for me,
It damages my brain.
I haven't had a single drop
And it's driving me insane.

And you say, what you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to.
And you say, what you see
Is not the way that you want me to be.

Whenever I get some change from anywhere,
You take it away.
I'm loving my little bankbook, you don't care,
You take it away.
Money is not good for me,
It damages my soul.
You take away my piggy bank
And dig it in a hole.

And you say, what you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to.
And you say, what you see
Is not the way that you want me to be.

And you say, what you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to.
And you say, what you see
Is not the way that you want me to be.

And you say (and you say), what you do (what you do)
Is just the way that I wanted you to.
And you say (and you say), what you see (what you see)
Is not the way that you want me
The way that you want me,
The way that you want me to be.
