Story Behind The Song
As a woman, I get tired of men trying to tell me how to do things their way. Often I find there are a few different ways to do something, and often times, my way is better then their way. Also, as a band, we've had to do things for ourselves due to the changing climate and dynamics in the record industry.

Lyrics
Where others failed I. I. I may succeeed
What other left I . I I may still need
What has worked for you
It ha been done before
I'll take my chance with what's behind some other door
And I am on my own,
And I do not like to be shown
Don't want you to show me. Get down, get down,
Don't act like you know me. I'm doing good by myself
I don't need you to hold me
I don't need you to scold me. Scold me.
What used to be it. It it isn't still
What's come to pass no. no no longer thrill
And I have my ways, and more times then not.
It's my ways that put me out on top
And I am on my own,
And I do not like to be shown
Don't want you to show me. Get down, get down,
Don't act like you know me. I'm doing good by myself
I don't need you to hold me
I don't need you to scold me. Scold me.
And I don't need
And I don't need
And I don't need
And I don't need you to hold
Don't want you to show me. Get down, get down,
Don't act like you know me. I'm doing good by myself
I don't need you to hold me
I don't need you to scold me. Scold me.
