Lyrics

Daughter, sister, wife, mother
Always defined in terms of another
Dancing the steps I'd learned as a child
A dance choreographed by others
After all these years, finally growing up
After all these years, I'm able to say
Don't show me the steps I need to take
Let me be someone other than who you create
Don't dismiss me and let me take a chance
Please don't tell me how to dance
Please don't tell me how to dance
Always the good girl, always have a smile
Always willing to go the extra mile
Willing to stand up for everyone but me
It's about time, finally
After all these years, finally growing up
After all these years, I'm able to say
Don't show me the steps I need to take
Let me be someone other than who you create
Just support me and let me take a chance
Please don't tell me how to dance
Please don't tell me how to dance
I have my own dance!
Please don't tell me how to dance
Please don't tell me how to dance
