[Verse 1]
You wanted me
To be who you be
But I break the rules
You preach but I don't hear
[Pre-Chorus]
When you say when you wanna believe
My heart stops 'cause I wanna be free
I'll say what you don't wanna hear
'Cause I'm the odd one out
Now listen
[Chorus]
Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that, I don't do that
Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing, I do my own thing
I do my own thing (Own thing)
[Verse 2]
Work and fit in
No way you let me dream
You go, swim downstream
I'll jump out and scream
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand back while we break your routine
And you go straight to the extreme
We'll say what you don't wanna hear
You're the odd ones now
So listen
[Chorus]
Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that, I don't do that
Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing, I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)
I do my own thing, I do my own thing
I do my own thing (oh, ohh)
[Bridge]
I'll stick my neck out to piss you off
I ain't your toy, it's a brand new world
Screw status quo, you do love a fight
On the pillar of love
[Chorus]
Shout it loud, take a stand
You just want me silenced
I don't do that, I don't do that
Don't care what you say
You just want a blank slate
I don't do that
I do my own thing, I do my own thing
I do my own thing (Oh, ohh)
I do my own thing, I do my own thing
I do my own thing (Oh, ohh)
[Post-Chorus]
I do my own thing (I do)
I do my own thing (I do, oh babe)
I do my own thing (Oh, ohh)
I do my own thing (I wanna be free)
I do my own thing
I do my own thing (Oh, ohh) (Let me dream)
[Spoken Outro]
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah
Watch me do what I want
What do you want me to do?
I don't do that
