I Love Carrots

Lyrics

Verse 1
They count the coins in my coat, judge the dirt on my shoes
Then they see orange in my lunch and start making their rules
I keep a bunch in the fridge, tops trimmed, lined in a row
You can keep your little comments; I already know
You call it strange, call it childish, like I owe you a say
I crunch through every cheap opinion you throw my way

Pre-Chorus
You can point, you can laugh, you can tell me to quit
I hear every word—and I don’t give a shit

Chorus
I love carrots, say it loud, let the whole room know
Fuck what you think, I’ve got nowhere to go
Orange on my fingers, dirt under my nails
I’m still standing when your judgment fails
I love carrots, every bite, every day
Keep your rules and your looks out of my way

Verse 2
I bring them to the counter, I bring them on the train
You make a face like my habit is a stain
I peel one slow while you deliver your speech
Then bite down hard where your lecture can’t reach
You want me ashamed, want me small, want me tame
But I’ll wear this ridiculous crown just the same

Pre-Chorus
You can point, you can laugh, you can tell me to quit
I hear every word—and I don’t give a shit

Chorus
I love carrots, say it loud, let the whole room know
Fuck what you think, I’ve got nowhere to go
Orange on my fingers, dirt under my nails
I’m still standing when your judgment fails
I love carrots, every bite, every day
Keep your rules and your looks out of my way

Bridge
Maybe it’s a habit, maybe it’s a throne
Maybe I just like what I like on my own
No apology, no permission, no shame
Say it to my face—I’ll say it again

Final Chorus
I love carrots, say it loud, let the whole room know
Fuck what you think, I’ve got nowhere to go
Orange on my fingers, dirt under my nails
I’m still standing when your judgment fails
I love carrots, every bite, every day
Keep your rules and your looks out of my way

Outro
Keep your rules out of my way
I’ll take another anyway
