I don’t care if I look like a mess to you, I’m not that one. I don’t care if what I’m doing impresses you, I’m not that one.

On this road all alone, No one else by my, No one else by my side, No one else by my, Else by my side, By my side, By my side. ‘Cuz I’m doing, And I’m being. ‘Cuz I’m doing, And I’m being, And I’m living with who I am. ‘Cuz I’m doing, And I’m being, And I’m living with who I am.

I’m tired of it, baby, Tired of you looking at me, Like I’m just a chick. I’m tired of you looking at me, Like you don’t give a shit, ‘Cuz I know that you do, And I don’t. Then I look through the things that you send me, And I use my mind, And I realize… You’re a scumbag baby, And I don’t have time, For you to be shady (You’re a scumbag). I have other plans baby, ‘Cuz I’m my own lady, Now go, go, Get out of here (Scumbag). If you fell off a cliff, I wouldn’t give a shit, no, I hope a volcano swallows you up inside, oh, But all joking aside, You only thought of your pride, Just spewing nothing but lies. ‘Cuz you’re a scumbag baby, And I don’t have time, For you to be shady (You’re a scumbag). I have other plans baby, ‘Cuz I’m my own lady, Now go, go, Get out of here (Scumbag). You know I didn’t want to write this song, But I had to, yes, I had to, Nobody’s ever gone and done me so wrong, So I had to, Oh, and screw you! ‘Cuz you’re a scumbag baby, And I don’t have time, For you to be shady. I have other plans baby, ‘Cuz I’m my own lady, Now go, go, Get out of here (Scumbag). You’re a scumbag baby, And I don’t have time, For you to be shady (You’re a scumbag). I have other plans baby, ‘Cuz I’m my own lady, Now go, go, Get out of here (Scumbag).

This kind of situation, This crazy trial by fire. Step in the wrong direction, And you can trip the wire. We’ve got this blind obsession, Blow up and then diffuse. We’re fueled by pure emotion, We can’t help what we do. We go walking through this minefield, We’ve got everything to lose. With everything that we feel, There’s no easy way to get through. The minefield. The minefield. The minefield. This kind of situation, This crazy trial by fire. Step in the wrong direction, And you can trip the wire.

Listen up. I don’t care if I look like a mess to you, I don’t care if what I’m doing impresses you (I’m not that one). I won’t be under your scrutiny, I won’t kneel to mediocrity (never). ‘Cuz I’m doing (yeah I’m doing) and I’m being (and I’m being), And I’m living with who I am (who I am). I don’t care (I don’t care) what you think (what you think), No, I just don’t give a damn. ‘Cuz I want it now (yeah), Yeah, I want it now (uh huh). I want it now (yeah), I want it now (oh). Second verse. I don’t care if how I’m living’s okay with you. I don’t care if what I’m saying’s approved by you. ‘Cuz I’m doing (yeah I’m doing) and I’m being (and I’m being), And I’m living with who I am. I don’t care (I just don’t care) what you think (what you think), No, I just don’t give a damn. ‘Cuz I want it now (mmhmm), Yeah, I want it now. I want it now (uh huh), I want it now. ‘Cuz I want it (yeah), And I need it, And I’m doing it now. Yeah, I want it, And I need it, And I’m doing it now. It’s always just been me. On this road all alone, No one else by my side, Never had a place to hide, Or a place to call home, uh. ‘Cuz I want it now, Yeah, I want it now (I said I want it now), I want it now (I gotta have it now), I want it now (I’m gonna get it now), ‘Cuz I want it now (You best believe it now), Yeah, I want it now (I’m gonna be it now), I want it now (I can conceive it now), Yeah, I want it now.
