You know I’m impatient,
so why would you E
leave me waiting outside the station
when it was like minus four degrees?
And I, D7
I get what you’re sayin’, I just E
really don’t wanna hear it right now.
Can you shut up for like once in your D7life?
Listen to me, I took your nice words of adEvice
about how you think I’m sayin’ bye lucky if I turn thirty-three.
Ok so yeah, I D7speak slow or quickly,
I’m so pretty and I dance like Britney every other Eweek.
But cut me some slack,
who do you want me to D7be?
Cuz I’m too messy
and then I take long to Eclean.
You told me get a job then you ask where on Earth I’ve D7been.
And I’m too perfect
’til I open my big Emouth.
I want to be me, is that not aD7llowed?
And I’m too clever
and then I do something Edumb.
You hate it when I cry unless it’s the end of the D7month.
And I’m too perfect
’til I show you that I’m Enot.
A thousand people I could be for you and you expect a whole D7lot
You expect a whole Elot
You expect a whole D7lot
Hey, Ehey
D
It’s taking you ages, you still don’t E
get the hint I’m not asking for pages,
but one text or two would be nice D
and please don’t pull those faces. When I’ve E
been out working at the gym all day
I can’t help myself I whine at Dyou, but hey…
You can’t even talk,
you drink tea just to help you Esleep.
Then why you out partying at four o’clock
and then you come home to Dme?
And don’t say hello cuz I took a Elong nap
and forgot to fold my D7clothes…
Cuz I’m too messy
and then I take long to Eclean.
You told me get a job then you ask where on Earth I’ve D7been.
And I’m too perfect
’til I open my big Emouth,
I want to be me, is that not aD7llowed?
And I’m too clever
and then I do something Edumb.
You hate it when I cry unless it’s the end of the D7month.
And I’m too perfect
’til I show you that I’m Enot.
A thousand people I could be for you and you expect a whole D7lot
You expect a whole Elot
You expect a whole D7lot

Oh, and I’m too messy
and then I take long to Eclean.
You told me get a job then you ask where on Earth I’ve D7been.
And I’m too perfect
’til I open my big Emouth,
I want to be me, is that not aD7llowed?
And I’m too clever

You hate it when I cry unless it’s the end of the D7month.
And I’m too perfect
’til I show you that I’m Enot.
A thousand people I could be for you and you expect a whole D7lot
You expect a whole Elot
You expect a whole D7lot
You Dexpect a whole Elot
You expect a whole D7lot
