Tracey Thorn
A Piece of My Mind
[Verse 1]
Why does he still go on like she's a baby
Saying 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
[Pre-Chorus]
"Don't tell me I don't understand" he said
"'I know I don't understand
I understood when you were ten
But nothing's added up since then"
[Chorus]
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" (Oh)
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
"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 nothing's added up since then"
[Chorus]
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" (Oh)
[Bridge]
Still he remembers her head
On the pillow of her little bed
And then all at once she's sixteen
And now she hates him, she hates him
Oh, yeah yeah yeah, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
"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"
[Chorus]
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 baby)
I'm not your little girl (Not your little girl)
I'm not your baby
I'm not your little girl"
