You told me get a job then you ask where the hell I’m been
And I’m perfect ’til i open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not alllowed?
And I’m too Clever and then I’m to F *** ing Dumb
You hate it when i cry unless it’s that time of the month
And I’m perfect ’til i show you that’s not
The Thousand People I Could Be For You And You Hate The F *** Ing Lot
Something we can translate more or less like this:
“Because I’m too messy and then clean
You send me to get a job and then ask where the hell I was
And I’m too perfect until I open this big mouth of mine
I want to be myself, isn’t that allowed? And I’m too smart and then stupid for the face ***
You hate when I cry, unless that time of month
And I’m too perfect until I show you that I am not
A thousand versions that I could be for you, and you hate them all “
