Mama dressed me like a baby doll
She painted me a pink wall
Daddy taught me how to throw the ball
He bought me all the blue shorts
Wish my world was black and white
That simple
But I like it
I like dancing like nobody's around
I like crying when I'm feeling down
Please don't tell me I have to be strong
He said good girls don't get tattoos
He frowned when I dyed my hair blue
She finally got into law school
She looks at me like I am a fool
Being perfect, half alive
Are you satisfied
But I like it
I like dancing like nobody's around
I like crying when I'm feeling down
Please don't tell me I have to be strong
I put the ink on anyway
I dyed my hair anyway
I paint my nails every day
You don't have to appreciate it anyway
But I like it
I like dancing like nobody's around
I like crying when I'm feeling down
Please don't tell me I have to be strong
I like dancing like nobody's around
I like crying when I'm feeling down
Please don't tell me I have to be strong
Just because you put out the flame
Doesn't mean I should do the same
