Criticize
Alexander O'Neal Lyrics

Can't you find something else to talk about?
Why do you constantly focus on criticizing me when there are so many other things in the world to talk about?

Is this song the only one you sing?
Are you so fixated on criticizing me that it's become the only thing you can think about or talk about?

Makes you look better when you put things down?
Do you feel a sense of superiority or validation when you criticize me or put me down?

Value your opinion!
You have the right to your own opinions, but I don't necessarily value them over my own.

Don't criticize my friends
Please refrain from criticizing the people in my life who are important to me.

Criticize my ideas
Rather than critiquing my personal relationships or lifestyle, focus on providing constructive criticism for my thoughts and ideas.

Don't criticize my life style
Please don't judge or criticize my choices regarding how I live my life.

I'm fed up 'cause all you want to do is criticize.
Your constant negative comments are exhausting me and I'm tired of being the target of your criticism.

You've just closed your mind
Your constant focus on criticizing me has made you closed-minded and unable to see things from a more positive perspective.

Ooh ooh, criticize!
Repeated use of this refrain emphasizes the frustrating, negative impact of constant criticism on the recipient.

You don't realize, all you want to do is criticize.
You seem to be unaware that your behavior is fixated on criticism and it's negatively affecting our relationship.

I just want what is right
My goal in this situation is simply to do what I believe is right or best for me, rather than constantly worrying about what others think.

Still you say criticize.
Despite my attempts to move past your criticism, you continue to focus on finding fault or pointing out my flaws.

Now can't we talk this over?
Can we please have a nuanced, constructive conversation rather than focusing solely on your criticisms?

Cause your conversation ain't right.
It's clear that something is off in our communication, likely due to your constant critical remarks.

We can make our love stronger
By working to improve our communication and focus on positive aspects of our relationship, we can build a stronger connection.

You don't have to think twice.
Don't hesitate to reach out and communicate with me in a more positive, non-critical way.

Don't criticize my motive
Please don't criticize my reasons or motivations for my actions or choices.

Criticize my feeling
If you feel the need to critique or point out something, please focus on how things make me feel rather than personal attacks on me.

Don't criticize my business
Please refrain from criticizing my work or business ventures without constructive feedback or suggestions for improvement.
