Song Lyrics

Dear Porcupines by Melanie Martinez

"Dear Porcupines"

Drown me in my daily cup of tea,
Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me,
They make me fall, but I will stand,
'Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands.

Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me,
'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TVs
But what about little ol', little ol' me,
The one who got bullied because of her teeth.

I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard. I know I'm on your mind,
Now you say you love me, but what about before,
When I was just that silly little girl next door.
Oh, oh
Oh

Ladies, oh, ladies, why are you so mad?
Is it 'cause I'm classy, and you're a trash bag?
Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart
And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start

Now look at you, boys, you can't believe your eyes,
You told me I was ugly and I took it by surprise,
You should've been nicer 'cause look where I'm at,
While you copy Mac Miller wearin' snap back hats.

I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard. I know I'm on your mind,
Now you say you love me, but what about before,
When I was just that silly little girl next door.
Oh, oh
Oh

Why must you be so mean talking trash about me?

All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all eternity
Or even just a week...

I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
To the bullies in the school yard. I know I'm on your mind,
Now you say you love me, but what about before,
When I was just that silly little girl next door.
Oh.
