[Intro]: Am C Fmaj7/C E
Am C
Drown me in my daily cup of tea, tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me
Fmaj7/C E
They make me fall, but I will stand, cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands
Am C
Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me, cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV's
Fmaj7/C E
But what about little ol', little ol' me, the one who got bullied, because of her teeth
Am C Fmaj7/C E
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind
Am C Fmaj7/C E
Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door
Am C Fmaj7/C E
Oh oh, oooh
Am C
Ladies oh ladies, why are you so mad, is it cause I'm classy and you're a trash bag
Fmaj7/C E
Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart, and now you're calling me cause you want a fresh start
Am C
Now look at you boys you can't believe your eyes, you told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise
Fmaj7/C E
You should've been nicer cause look where I'm at, while you copy Mac Miller wearing snapback hats
Am C Fmaj7/C E
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind
Am C Fmaj7/C E
Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door
Am C Fmaj7/C E
Oh oh, oooh
Am C
Why must you be so mean, talking trash about me
Fmaj7/C E Am C Fmaj7/C E
All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all eternity or even just a week
Am C Fmaj7/C E
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind
Am C Fmaj7/C E Am
Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door, ooh
