You can't do this, you can't do that Lyrics

As a teen, I left my hometown football team

Parents and Grandpa said, "You're too keen"

Two years in, we hoisted the cup

And I knew my future wasn't in the pub

They said it before, but I'm changing the story

You can't do this, you can't do that

They always tried to hold me back

Believe me, I can! Just wait and see

Watch me rise, I'm on my track

As a consultant, the thrill was gone

Dad said, "Stay, the name's well-known"

Switched jobs, climbed to CEO

Fifteen years at the top, I stole the show

They said it before, but I'm changing the story

You can't do this, you can't do that

They always tried to hold me back

Believe me, I can! Just wait and see

Watch me rise, I'm on my track

At fifty, tired of the nine-to-five

I wanted to feel truly alive

They said, "You'll regret it, just wait and see"

Now living my dream, it's just perfect for me

They said it before, but I'm changing the story

You can't do this, you can't do that

They always tried to hold me back

Believe me, I can! Just wait and see

Watch me rise, I'm on my track

Life's too short, be brave and take your shot

You can't do this, you can't do that

They always tried to hold me back

Oh yes, Baby - I can! Just wait and see

Watch me rise, I'm on my track
