I wanna tell a story.
That you really wanna hear.
A tale of hope and glory.
It's a truth that will never disappear.

Before when they all told me,
ya gotta do this, don't do that.
Looked in a mirror
and what I saw lookin' back.
Just left me flat.

I used to play a game,
I remember.
Just jammin' all day.
Make believin' I could sing,
no pretender.
Rocked out all the way!

They said to me,
it's old fashioned.
It'll never work, it's gotta go.
I said, 'look me straight in the eye'
Don't tell me no!

The feeling I get.
I really don't see.
You're telling me that?
I'm gonna stand pat!

Back then the groove, the music.
It all got me so.
It was good. It was hot.
Was the best on the block.
You say don't fo it.
Well you blew it!

No, just ain't me.
Wadda you know?
You're all talk and no show.
I say, go get lost and good-bye.
Don't tell me no!

The bigger the buck,
the better the bang.
I always had luck
with the way that I sang!

It ain't a simple game.
A creator, defendin' all day.
I believe I can sing,
make it greater.
Get outta my way!
They say to me,
it's oldfashioned
You gotta stop, just let it go.
I say, from my head to my toes.
Don't tell me no!

Back then the groove, the music.
They all told you so.
It was good. It was hot.
Gonna give my best shot.

I'm gonna tell you,
I'll always be true
to my music.

Just gotta be me, I'm a singer.
I'm ready to go.
You'll see, I wll never hold back.
Don't tell me no!

I said, look me straight in the eye.
Don't tell me no!
I say, it's the truth, it's no lie.
Don't tell me no1

You'll see and you'll never ask why.
Don't tell me no!
