Melanie Martinez Lyrics

Strawberry Shortcake

Feeling unsure of my naked body

Stand back, watch it taking shape

Wondering why I don't look like Barbie

They say boys like girls with a tiny waist

Now, my mama's preaching to make sure I'm pure

But, I never really cared 'bout this shit before

Look around the room to whoever wants me

Got boys acting like they ain't seen skin before

Got sent home to change 'cause my skirt is too short

It's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake

That's my bad, that's my bad, no one told them not to grab

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake

Gotta make sure that my legs are shiny

Hot wax melting, burn my skin

People all around me are watching closely

'Cause it's how I look and not what I think

Mikey's eyes seem to be glued to her chest

So, I'm stuffing my bra so that mine look the best

It's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake

That's my bad, that's my bad, no one told them not to grab

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake

Instead of making me feel bad for the body I got

Just teach him to keep it in his pants and tell him to stop

Sayin' it's my fault, it's my fault 'cause I put icing on top

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake

That's my bad, that's my bad, no one told them not to grab

Now, the boys want a taste of the strawberry shortcake
