A Fast One

The Cranberries · Water Circle [1990]

Tell me I'm not good enough

You tell me I'm a bore

But I don't have to tolerate your insults anymore

I just wanna be with someone else instead of you

'cause every time you speak to me to

me you tell me what to do

Tell me what to do, oh

You tell me what to do

Tell me what to do, oh

You tell me what to do



Oh, I remember in the school yard

when you asked me out

I didn't really realize what living's all about

I was just sixteen years old when I married you

And now it's just a stupid mess,

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do, oh

I don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

I Don't know what to do



I don't know what's bothering you

But lately I'm so sickened by you

I don't know what's bothing you

'cause lately you just tell me what to do

You tell me what to do, oh

You tell me what to do

Tell me what to do, oh

You tell me what to do



That was all some time ago, by hell I shoulda known

And even though I'm living with

you, I'm living on my own

There's no one left to talk to now,

there's just no getting through

'cause every time you speak to me

you tell me what to do

Don't tell me what to do Repeat 3x

Tell me what to do



I don't know what's bothering you

But lately I'm so sickened by you

I don't know what's bothing you

'cause lately you just tell me what to do

You tell me what to do, oh

Tell me what to do, oh
