And he don't like her boyfriends or her politics
"Don't tell me you don't understand"
And you're not too old to take it
'Cause I'm not your baby, not your little girl
She was born in January and that was in June
I understood when you were ten
He said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind
And you're not too old to take it
She said, "I'll give you a piece of my mind
But nothin's added up since then"
He said, "I know what you think of me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But now her life and his, they just don't mix

"Don't tell me what you think of me"
Just a piece of my mind"
All at once she's sixteen and now
Oh, just a piece of my mind"
And maybe, Dad, it's time that you did"
And you're not too old to take it
I understood when you were ten
"Don't tell me I don't understand"

But nothin's added up since then"
Oh, just a piece of my mind and not too old
