THE LYRICS:
This is my voice
You're hearing my voice
In my house you don't like the tunes I play
Respect me or go away
I'm too old to please
I'm too smart to conform
Closed-minded is boring
And it's time to reform
This is my song
I'm singing lalaHere I am – my bare feet and all
Here I am – receding hairline and all
I know sometimes I get bitchy
It's a weakness – I'm a work in progressThis is my voice – I'm shedding my outer shell
I'm trying to treat my inner gorgeousness well
I've dress to impress I've dressed to be weird
Made anti fashion statements no one got or heard
This my song I'm singing lalaHere I am – loyal friend and all
Here I am – hopeful romantic and all
I call people cunts when I get angry
It's a weakness – I'm a work in progressHere I am – high nasal voice and all
Here I am – smashed modem and all
I made fake names 'cause I wanted you to like me
Honey I didn't like me
Bad habits are like songs my friend
We decide when they end.
