You can't tell lies or your nose will grow
You can't talk to people that you don't know
You can't have dessert until you finish your meal
You can't blow bubbles inside the house
You can't jump up and down on the couch
You can't stay up when it's time for you to sleep

So, what CAN I do?!
Without incurring the wrath of you?
I try to be a good kid most of the time
But with so many rules, I can't read your mind
What CAN I do?!

You can't eat food if it falls on the floor
You can't ride the dog around like a horse
You can't use your crayons to write all over the wall
You can't stick your fingers in your mouth
You can't just watch TV for three hours
You can't climb up too high cause you might fall

So, what CAN I do?!
Without incurring the wrath of you?
I try to be a good kid most of the time
But with so many rules, I can't read your mind
What CAN I do?!

You can't bite your nails or pick your nose
You can't use a knife or touch the stove
You can't have what you want until you ask please
You can't talk back or scream or swear
You can't run around in your underwear
You can't go to bed unless you brush your teeth

So, what CAN I do?!
Without incurring the wrath of you?
I try to be a good kid most of the time
But with so many rules, I can't read your mind
What CAN I do?!
