I don't go a single day
Without you telling me to change the way I talk
(Way that I talk, way I talk)
I've never been able to cover a mile
Without criticism of the way I smile or walk
(Way that I smile, way I walk)
But I'm not living for you
I'm not living for you
I don't go a single day
Without you telling me to change the way I am
(Way that I am, way I am)
But there is not a single time
When I feel inclined to obey your dumb demand
(Your dumb demand, dumb demand)
'Cause I'm not living for you
(Don't you know it's true)
Took me long enough to realise we were through
(Don't you know it's true)
And I'm not living for you
It's only for me, love
Now that I am strong enough
It's all for me
I won't go a single day
Secure in the knowledge that you made no change on me
But though I'm weak and I will fall down
I stand back up, get myself back on my feet
'Cause I'm not living for you
(Don't you know it's true)
Took me long enough to realise we were through
(Don't you know it's true, we were through)
And I'm not living for you
It's only for me, love
Now that I am strong enough
It's all for me
