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" --- A Piece of My Mind - Everything but the Girl
