Don't be desperate,
Or they won't like you.
Don't be more confident,
Than what you're expected to.

Don't be too quick,
But don't take too long.
Be yourself, but not too much,
Don't always be right, but never be wrong.

Just stay being a typical nice girl,
Just be the perfect amount of everything,
Just be the thing men need,
Just don't be more than nothing.

Well I'm tired of it,
I'm done being just an object to use
I'm done doing what I'm expected to
I'm done being a thing people can abuse.

If you don't have to be perfect,
Why do you expect us to be?
Why do you keep us in a box,
If you can always be free?

I'll just be myself,
Weird, young and independent.
I'll just speak my mind if I want to,
Even if you keep being a disgusting serpent.

I won't be the one playing by the rules,
You made for your own sake.
I won't be the one you take home at night,
To just stay for only a single take.
