lyrics
i’m not hurting anyone
i’m just telling my own truth
if there if there
is something wrong
then maybe
maybe there’s something wrong with you
what’s the big deal, get over it, relax
just ‘cause i do up in your face what other people
do behind you back
why we all gotta look, why we all gotta act the same
i say if your born a lion don’t bother trying to act tame
everything i do i do for the first time
i got a big crush on you, it is crushing my mind
can i follow you home and listen to you think
leave my lip prints on your cups
leave my hairs in your sink
they think i’m out there
out there living on
the fringe
what if this is
my world
and i invited
them in
they should
try living by
my rules for a day
nobody would die
and there’d be lots
of stuff to say
i’m not hurting
anyone no
i’m not hurting anyone
i’m just telling my own truth
if there if there
is something wrong
then maybe
maybe there’s something wrong with you
what’s the big deal, get over it, relax
just ‘cause i do up in your face what other people
do behind you back
why we all gotta look, why we all gotta act the same
i say if your born a lion don’t bother trying to act tame
everything i do i do for the first time
i got a big crush on you, it is crushing my mind
can i follow you home and listen to you think
leave my lip prints on your cups
leave my hairs in your sink
they think i’m out there
out there living on
the fringe
what if this is
my world
and i invited
them in
they should
try living by
my rules for a day
nobody would die
and there’d be lots
of stuff to say
i’m not hurting
anyone no
i’m not hurting anyone
