Whenever I buy a lighter in the store
You take it away
I cannot find the ashtray anymore
Did you take it away?
Smoking is not good for me
It damages my health
If you don't give me nicotine
Well, then I ask somebody else

And you say
What you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to
And you say
What you see
Is not the way that you want me to be

Whenever I pour myself a glass of wine
You take it away
The bottle I bought today I cannot find
Did you take it away?
Drinking is not good for me
It damages my brain
I haven't had a single drop
And it's driving me insane

That you say
What you do
Is just the way that I wanted you to
And you say
What you see
Is not the way that you want me to be
Whenever I get some change from anywhere
You take it away
I'm loving my little bankbook, you don't care
You take it away
Money is not good for me
It damages my soul
You take away my piggy bank
And dig it in a hole

And you say...
