Don't Talk Down To Me

You call me in your office just the other day
You say ‘I don’t want you doing things in your own way
I want you to do it the way I say’
But before you could send me away, I say…

Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
I won’t look up to you if you talk down to me

No matter what I do it never seems enough
And the way I’ve been treated has been mighty rough
I just want the chance to strut my stuff
Maybe then you won’t treat me so off-the-cuff

Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
I won’t look up to you if you talk down to me

Don’t talk down to me
No don’t you talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
I won’t look up to you if you talk down to me

Well I bid you farewell and be on my way
‘Cause I don’t have to listen to what you say
I’ve got my band we can always play
And I can tell you to kindly go away

Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
Don’t talk down to me
I won’t look up to you if you talk down to me
