not cute
Lyrics
[intro] :
I'm not cute...
[verse 1] :
Innocent face doesn't define my actions
Small body hiding a whole lot of substance
I'm harmless, please don't be fooled
I don't wanna be cute anymore
I'm here to be taken seriously
Pink, glitter, pom-poms (ugh, what a waste)
None of harmless, delicate, well-behaved act
Like a rose and a butterfly in the sun
[ verse 2 ] :
You measuring me by height? Wrong rules, man
My presence fills the room, fills the land
You want a doll that say "yes, sir"
I'm the fine that burns your decorum
Don't call me quiet, quiet is the storm
Before it breaks, hold onto that longing
I'm not the prize, I'm the one who sets the rules
If you can't handle the game, get out of the way
[ pre-chorus 1 ] :
I watch horror movies, no romance ( ah, how awful)
I'd rather get dirty in the mud than wear sequins and glitter
A smirk instead of puppy-dog eyes that beg ( ah, how sad)
[chorus] :
Enough, don't call me yours, yours, yours
I own myself, so stop, stop, stop
Don't come ate me with that pitiful look, don't try to pull me in
I'm not what you want, I'm whoever I wanna be
Am I cute? No, I'm not
Am I adorable? No, I'm not
Am I innocent? No, I'm not
I'm real, and it hurts, so stay away from me
[Rap] :
Stop labeling me, stop measuring me
You think you know me just 'cause you saw me smile?
I'm not your project, not your entertainment
I'm not your consolation prize, no speak softly when you speak to me, respect my voice
I didn't ask for affection, I asked for respect, that's it
If your ego's big, that's your problem, fix it I'm here alone and alone I'll keep evolving
I'm not cute, not sweet, not your doll
Break that illusion, that empty top hat of your
I'm sweet poison, but don't come taste it if you can't handle the truth, better not even try
[verse 3] :
You talk about delicacy but live on judgment
Trying to fit me in a box without my consent
I'm not the ornament in your perfect picture
I'm the crack in the glass, the imperfect truth
[pre-chorus 2] :
Enough with the games, enough with the tests
You've already seen what I'm capable of if you still think you control me
Come on and try again, if you can
[chorus] :
Enough, don't call me yours, yours, yours
I own myself, so stop, stop, stop
Don't come ate me with that pitiful look, don't try to pull me in
I'm not what you want, I'm whoever I wanna be
Am I cute? No, I'm not
Am I adorable? No, I'm not
Am I innocent? No, I'm not
I'm real, and it hurts, so stay away from me
[bridge ] :
Cut the string, break the mold
That mold doesn't fit me
If it's cute, it's not me
If it's me, it's not cute
Take the label off my skin
I'm not a product for you to choose
I'm not a character in your story
I'm the author, I'm the whole plot
Speak softly when you speak to me
Respect ins't asked for, it's demanded
I'm not here to be accepted
I'm here to be remembered
Don't define me, don't cage me
I decide who I'll be
And if that bothers you
That's your problem, not mine
[chorus-final] :
Enough, don't call me yours, yours, yours
I own myself, so stop, stop, stop
Don't come ate me with that pitiful look, don't try to pull me in
I'm not what you want, I'm whoever I wanna be
Am I cute? No, I'm not
Am I adorable? No, I'm not
Am I innocent? No, I'm not
I'm real, and it hurts, so stay away from me
I am me. And that's enough
[outro] :
Not cute...
Nothing cute...
Stop trying
