Leave me alone!

You don't do anything around the house
and yet, you're telling me how to do things
I always do, and totally messing me up.

Leave me alone; you have no right
to come waltzing in here
with your opinions and ways.

Have you ever even done what I do?
Have you ever even tried?

Really, stay out of my business,
and advise me again
when I actually need it.

Your specialty is not housework,
so go, and please, just leave me alone.
