This isn’t really like me
I’m not usually so vindictive
I try to do the right thing
But I’m more hurt and upset than expected
I think you made my switch flip
I never wanted to hurt you but baby
Since you don’t really feel shit
Lemme help you to feel what I’m feeling
If I wanted to be naked for you
Every morning I’d wake up in the mood
Say nothing bout the the shit that you do
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If I wanted to be pretty for you
I’d do my makeup til you say you approve
I’d be waiting on somebody like you
To be a nice girl, a nice girl
If i wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If i wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
I’m living in a man’s world
And every touch is another reminder
I’m slipping into flight mode
But I’m stuck being fake with a smile on
Pleasing all these people
Is a mountain of battles I’m climbing
I’m ready for a fight now
It’s been building and building inside me
If I wanted to be naked for you
Every morning I’d wake up in the mood
Say nothing bout the the shit that you do
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If I wanted to be pretty for you
I’d do my makeup til you say you approve
I’d be waiting on somebody like you
To be a nice girl, a nice girl
If i wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If i wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
Rolling to a stop doesn’t mean go
Just because you say it doesn’t mean so
Pockets full of green doesn’t mean gold
And when I say no I really mean no
Rolling to a stop doesn’t mean go
Just because you say it doesn’t mean so
Pockets full of green doesn’t mean gold
And when I say no I really mean no
If I wanted to be naked for you
Every morning I’d wake up in the mood
Say nothing bout the the shit that you do
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If I wanted to be pretty for you
I’d do my makeup til you say you approve
I’d be waiting on somebody like you
To be a nice girl, a nice girl
If I wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
If I wanted to be pretty for you
I’d be a nice girl, a nice girl
