TELL ME NO

Reaching for my dreams
And you're so quick to say what I can't do
You criticise my actions
But I don't see you standing in my shoes
I'm going the wrong way
I'm doing the wrong things
Every word just gives me fuel
So c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

And Tell Me No
And I'll show you I can
Tell Me No
I dig my feet right in
Tell Me No
Just tell me that I can't win
So c'mon I'm sure I'll prove you wrong c'mon and go
Tell Me No....

For every step I take
You're right there trying to block my next move
And if you're making me feel bad
Then tell me then do you feel good
I'm just human
All I'm doing is what my heart tells me I should
So c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

And Tell Me No
And I'll show you I can
And Tell Me No
And I'll dig my feet right in
Tell Me No
Just tell me that I can't win
So c'mon I'm sure I'll prove you wrong c'mon and go
Tell Me No....

No no no no no no
It motivates me more and more
And I think it's time you know
You've given me something to work for
And I can't wait for the day
I can rub things in your face
I ain't gon' stop 'til I'm done
I reach the top
I'm number one
But every time you try and tell me no
[Every time you try and tell me no]
It only makes me keep on keeping on

Tell Me No
And I'll show you I can
And Tell Me No
And I'll dig my feet right in
Tell Me No
Just tell me that I can't win
So c'mon I'm sure I'll prove you wrong c'mon and go
Tell Me No....

Tell Me No
And I'll show you I can
Tell Me No
And I'll dig my feet right in
Tell Me No
Just tell me that I can't win
So c'mon I'm sure I'll prove you wrong c'mon and go
Tell Me No....
