"Why are you always so shy?"
"Are you shy?"
"What was that?"
"Just be social."

Just shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!

I wasn't always like this.
I wasn't always a meek, defenseless girl.
I used to be one of the most social people there were.
I had many friends, which most were boys.

People change.
I turned out to be one of those people.
I'd rather not talk about it
But I'm sure you've changed too.

"She's so innocent."
"She would never hurt a fly."
"She's too nice to say no."
"She's fine with it."

No I'm not!
I've hurt many people more times than I can count.
I'm stronger than I look.
I'm not as weak as you say I am.

"Hey. You're hot. Wanna go out?"
"Can I have your number?"
"You're cute."
"Hey girl."

Just because I can't speak up for myself
Doesn't mean I can't defend myself.
Say what you want
But I'm no pushover.

"Can I copy you?"
"Can I see what you did?"
"Can you help me?"
"How do I do this?"

You know that?
Help yourself.
I'm tired of this bullshit.
I'm not someone you could just take advantage of.

Sure I may be timid
And become a nervous wreck
I can't help being so complient
And sometimes submissive

But remember this:
No matter what you say
And no matter what you do
I won't just simply do as you say
Because I'll show you that this girl
Can be much more than shy.
