Lyrics

If You Tell Me I Can't
(Eric Erdman and Mack Lipscomb)

You're right when you say the odds are stacked against me
You were right when you say I'm in over my head
You're right when you say I don't have all I need
I can't deny a word you've said

But if you think that's going to stop me you can quit
you're about to find out who you're dealing with

AIf You Tell Me I Can't
You're talking just to hear yourself talk
If You Tell Me I Can't
You must not know how hard I have fought
If You Tell Me I Can't
I'll get up every time I fall
If You Tell Me I Can't
Then you are wrong

You're right when you say I don't have enough cash
You're right when you say I don't have enough time
You were right when you say I could take the easy path
Instead I've got a mountain to climb

But if you think that's going to stop me you can quit
you're about to find out who you're dealing with

If You Tell Me I Can't
You're talking just to hear yourself talk
If You Tell Me I Can't
You must not know how hard I have fought
If You Tell Me I Can't
I'll get up every time I fall
If You Tell Me I Can't
Then you are wrong

Cameras love the winners but they never focus on the means , only the ends
But everyone at one time was a beginner so don't only tell me where they are tell me where they've been
I want to see every door they kicked to splinters when they weren't let in

If You Tell Me I Can't
You're talking just to hear yourself talk
If You Tell Me I Can't
You must not know how hard I have fought
If You Tell Me I Can't
I'll get up every time I fall
If You Tell Me I Can't
Then you are wrong
