A Piece of My Mind

Why does he still go on like she's a baby

Sayin' that's no kind of language for a lady?

He knows she hates that word, that's why he said it

He can be childish too and she won't forget it

"Don't tell me I don't understand"

He said, "I know I don't understand

I understood when you were ten

But nothin's added up since then"

He said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind

And you're not too old to take it

Oh, just a piece of my mind"

And that's him and her mum on honeymoon

She was born in January and that was in June

But now her life and his, they just don't mix

And he don't like her boyfriends or her politics

"Don't tell me what you think of me"

He said, "I know what you think of me

I understood when you were ten

But nothin's added up since then"

He said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind

And you're not too old to take it

Just a piece of my mind"

Still he remembers her head

On the pillow of her little bed

All at once she's sixteen and now

She hates him, she hates him

Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Don't tell me you don't understand"

She said, "What is there to understand?

I've grown up since I was a kid

And maybe, Dad, it's time that you did"

She said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind

And you're not too old to take it

Oh, just a piece of my mind and not too old

'Cause I'm not your baby, not your little girl

I'm not your baby, not your little girl"
