Lyrics

Every now an' then, on my way home
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow, an' I pick a few
Cuz she don't tell me to
I go out with my boys all right
But most of the time I call it a night before they do
Cuz she don't tell me to
Sunday mornin', I'm in church
An' my butt an' my back an' my necktie hurts, but I'm in the pew
She don't tell me to

Any other woman I know would have tried
To control me and it would be over
Blame it on my goin' my own way attitude
All of that stubborness melts away
When I wake with her head on my shoulder
An' I know I've got to love her
Until my life is through
Cuz she don't tell me to

Well, I got demons and I've got pride
But when I'm wrong, I apologize like she's mine to lose
Cuz she don't tell me to
Well, I got dreams in this heart of mine
But nothin' that I wouldn't lay aside if she asked me to
Cuz she don't tell me to
An' she don't even know
That she keeps me lookin' for the next right thing to do
Cuz she don't tell me to
Yeah, yeah

Any other woman I know would have tried
To control me and it would be over
Blame it on my goin' my own way attitude
And all of that stubborness melts away
When I wake with her head on my shoulder
An' I know I've got to love her
Until my life is through
What else can I do?
What else can I do?
Whoa, I love her
But she don't tell me to
She don't tell me to

Every now an' then, on my home
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow, an' I pick a few
Yes I do
