Patience is a virtue Lying always hurts you Don’t you know by now you are a fool? You don’t even know me Don’t pretend you know me You barely even know my name You can send the dirty looks my way But you know I’ll keep a damn straight face Say what you want Say what you want Say what you want about me Say what you want Say what you want Say what you want But you’ll never, never, never Never hurt me Even though you try To bring me so far down You’ll be surprised to see That my feet are on the ground And your negativity Won’t get inside of me Perhaps someday you’ll see It was never worth it in the first place (Chorus) You scared me once before But you won’t get into my head You scared me once before, But you won’t get into my head Oh no, no (Chorus)

I get pissed off at those self-checkout lines How they’re so confusing and they take up time I get pissed off seeing three year olds on cell phones How their parents don’t seem to notice that their kid is in this zone A zone where no human interaction even occurs And everyone’s a faceless, lifeless little blur And it pains me to see it, yes it does Pains me to see it and I don’t know how to beat it And I just want to figure it out I get pissed off at myself on Facebook Think about why instead I’m not reading a book I get pissed off when I hear those comments Like what is she wearing and what is she doing with a guy like him I don’t expect you to like everyone you meet at any given time But, jealousy comes in all shapes and sizes Why you gotta bring people down and criticize them All I gotta say is that I’m sick and tired Of hearing all the bullsh from all those damn liars All I really want is for people to be real I can surely tell when you’re trying to conceal All the bitterness and the emptiness and the insecurity I can tell that you’re insecure ‘Cause all you want is to just be sure The attention is on you Oh oh you know You don’t gotta impress no one Oh oh you know You just gotta be your own Oh oh you know You don’t gotta impress no one Even if that means You are misunderstood Misunderstood like a movie, except this is truly Your life you’re living and you can’t waste time I’m sure you wanna be more than just a mime ‘Cause the more you follow, the more you lose sight Of who you are and what is right We gotta fight the system and truly find Who we are before the world goes blind I can tell that you’re insecure ‘Cause all you want is to just be sure I can tell that you’re insecure ‘Cause all you want is to just be sure The attention is on you

See all those girls Yeah, yeah Tryna be something they’re not Tryna be in the spotlight like they’re so tight With those boys With their low cut shirts And I know it don’t hurt to wear those But would you take it easy sometimes? You’re at it night after night And it ain’t always bout gettin it in No it ain’t always bout gettin it in See all those girls Yeah, yeah Under the make-up that you cake on I’m sure you’ve got a mind of your own Under the trash talkin', lip smackin' Push-up rack, originality lackin' You got it all Under the bed-hoppin', fake sobbin' Bottle poppin', sweet talkin' You got it all See all those girls Yeah, yeah Wear what you wear ‘cause you wanna wear it Don’t wear what they wear ‘cause or else they’ll stare you down I don’t see no crown, and they won’t get me down, oh no They ain’t got nothing on me They’ve been the same way since age 13 My middle school days are over See all those girls Yeah, yeah See all those girls Yeah, yeah

The way you do Those things you do Is what I always wanted from you But your heart says I don’t know But I know you know, yes I know you know That there’s such thing as chemistry And there it lies with you and me, so Chorus: What am I to do when I might be in love with you? What am I to say when every single day I just wanna wake up next to you? Boy, you got me so confused Here we are, just us two Ain’t that something? And boy, I want you, oh yes I do Chorus
5.
I need a man, not a boy Not much commitment, but I’m no one’s toy And I just wanna say that I Don’t even know why you seemed to try in the first place I just wanna say that I Don’t even know why you seemed to try Chorus: ‘Cause you up and gone left me in the dust And I made myself believe it must have been your mind And it’s a shame that it never came to anything at all But I don’t regret it, I still stand tall You know I said what I meant And I was honest, but my time was spent On thinking of you and me And how things used to be I was thinking of you and me And how things used to be Chorus I don’t expect no return anymore And I can’t force you to be concerned With my life and what I’m doing now And I just wanted you to know That you didn’t ever have to go Chorus
6.
Since you left I was afraid that I would not be loved One day after another, I was just some other girl to you Chorus: I’ve found that I should not try To win somebody’s heart Who won’t give me the time of day It’s just a waste of time Please don’t go, I said to myself Why’d you do those things you did If you never meant anything you said? You hurt me so, don’t you know, don’t you know? I bet you knew but you didn’t do nothin' Chorus What did I do to lose you? Chorus What did I do to lose you?

I’m almost 22 and a man’s never treated me right It’s about time I find A guy who ain’t afraid of what the future might bring But I ain’t askin’ for a husband I ain’t askin’ for a love I just want someone to ask me how the f*** my day was Chorus: Men always seem to assume What I want from them But I don’t ask for much I just want one chance Men always seem to assume What I need from them But I don’t ask for much I just want to be given a chance I guess I’ll stop trying, and I guess I’ll stop looking to Seems every time I say exactly how I feel Things go the wrong way Still, I ain’t askin’ for a husband I ain’t askin’ for a love I just want someone to ask me how the f*** my day was Don’t you understand? Don’t you understand? Don’t you understand? Why don’t you understand? Chorus I just want a chance
