Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All she wanted was a bowl of pasta
Without anybody lookin' at her
So I asked her, "Baby, what's the matter
With that?"
[Verse 2]
Sweat pants, hair up on the sofa
Swear down, yeah, that's how I know you
She said, "Do I look alright?
I, I don't wanna go out tonight
So we can stay in and I can make you something
We ain't gotta dress up for nothing
Feet up with the TV on"
And all she wanted
[Verse 3]
All she wanted was a bowl of pasta
Without anybody lookin' at her
So I asked her, "Baby, what's the matter
With that?"
She said, "I know it's stupid, but it's complicated
There's been a lot of pressure on me lately
To wake up every day and look amazing"
So I said, "You're the prettiest thing in the world"
Look at what we've done to the girl
[Verse 4]
Why you always scrollin' through your phone?
Only comfortable when we're on our own
Why you gotta care what people think?
Gotta make your own rules, do your own thing
[Verse 5]
Wish she knew all the good she got
Instead of tryin' to be someone she's not
Yeah
'Cause all she wanted
[Verse 6]
All she wanted was a bowl of pasta
Without anybody lookin' at her (Lookin' at her)
So I asked her, "Baby, what's the matter
With that?"
She said, "I know it's stupid, but it's complicated
There's been a lot of pressure on me lately (On me lately)
To wake up every day and look amazing"
So I said, "You're the prettiest thing in the world"
Look at what we've done to the girl
[Verse 7]
Look at what we've done
[Verse 8]
And I'll tell you every day
I love you just the way
You are, so don't you change
Don't you change, no
So be who you wanna be
'Cause you're everything you need
You're everything to me, oh
[Verse 9]
All she wanted was a bowl of pasta
Without anybody lookin' at her
So I asked her, "Baby, what's the matter
With that?"
She said, "I know it's stupid, but it's complicated
There's been a lot of pressure on me lately (On me lately)
To wake up every day and look amazing"
So I said, "You're the prettiest thing in the world"
Look at what we've done to the girl
