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"
