oh shirley, babe!

Let me breathe 

Cause I'm drowning in your shadow 

Let me leave 

Respect me do not follow me believe 

I can make my own tomorrow 

Let me breathe 

Does it make 

You feel good cause you own me 

Does it take 

Your puppet strings to hold me 

How I ache 

As you're trying to control me 

Let me breathe 

Let me dance 'till my shoes cry 

Let me laugh let me be 

Let me dance 

Let me choose my life 

Let me climb the living tree 

Picture this 

When you wake up in the morning 

And I kiss 

Your sorry ass goodbye 

What will I miss 

There's nothing I can think of as I leave 

Let me dance 'till my shoes cry 

Let me laugh let me be 

Let me dance 

Let me choose my life 

Let me climb the living tree.
