[Upbeat pop-punk intro] [Verse 1 – Female Vocals] You talk like you discovered fire Like I just showed up yesterday You lean back, start explaining life Like I didn’t already pay You love the sound of your own advice Love telling me what’s best But I didn’t ask for tutoring I didn’t sign up for the test [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocals] You think I’m young You think I’m lost You think I don’t see What this already cost [Chorus – Female Vocals] I don’t need the lesson I’ve been here before I don’t need the lecture I know how this goes I don’t need the lesson You can save your breath I learned it the hard way I don’t need the rest [Verse 2 – Female Vocals] You call it “looking out for me” I call it talking down You wrap control in concern Then act shocked when I shut it down You think knowing my name Means you know my life But I didn’t get this far By needing your advice [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocals] I didn’t ask I didn’t stall I don’t need help I heard it all [Chorus – Female Vocals] I don’t need the lesson I’ve been here before I don’t need the lecture I know how this goes I don’t need the lesson You can save your breath I learned it the hard way I don’t need the rest [Bridge – Gang vocal feel] Not my teacher Not my guide Not my voice Not my life [Final Chorus – Full Band] I don’t need the lesson I’ve been here before I don’t need the lecture I know how this goes I don’t need the lesson Say it again if you want But I learned enough And I’m moving on
