Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time
I was living 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
[Verse 2]
Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat
People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only wanted skin deep
[Verse 3]
And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 4]
You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
No more melon cake
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat
People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only wanted skin deep
[Verse 7]
And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 8]
You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
No more melon cake
No more melon cake
No more melon cake
No more melon cake
[Verse 9]
Dear little me
I'm sorry that it took so long but, baby, you're free
[Verse 10]
And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 11]
You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
No more melon cake
