Melon Cake

There was a time

I was livin' as a prisoner inside my own mind

And there was a time

Where the cat and mouse tried to make me

Barbie-sized and I obliged

Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat

People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat (it's a true story)

I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap

People always hung around who only want it skin-deep

And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakеs on birthdays

No more barricades in doorways

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

You could find mе starvin' for attention most days

Amongst other things, God help me

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

No more melon cake

There was a time

I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine

But I wouldn't wish

Those thoughts on my worst enemy

They make you wish you don't exist

Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat

People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat

I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap

People always hung around who only want it skin-deep

And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays

No more barricades in doorways

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

You could find me starvin' for attention most days

Amongst other things, God help me

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

No more melon cake

Ah-ha (ah-ha)

No more melon cake

Ah-ha (ah-ha)

No more melon cake

Ah-ha (ah-ha)

No more melon cake

Ah-ha (ah-ha)

Dear little me

I'm sorry that it took so long

But baby, you're free

And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays

No more barricades in doorways

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

You could find me starvin' for attention most days

Amongst other things, God help me

Finally get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la

No more melon cake
