[LOLA YOUNG, "MESSY"]

# You know I'm impatient #

# So why would you #

# Leave me waitin' outside the station #

# When it was like minus 4 degrees? #

# And I, I get what you're sayin' #

# I just really don't want to hear it right now #

# Can you shut up for like once in your life? #

# 'Cause you can't even talk #

# You smoke weed just to help you sleep #

# Then why you out #

# Gettin' stoned at 4 o'clock? #

# And then you come home to me #

# And don't say hello #

# 'Cause I got high again #

# And forgot to fold my clothes #

# 'Cause I'm too messy #

# And then I'm just too damn clean #

# You told me, "Get a job" #

# Then you ask #

# Where the hell I've been #

# And I'm too perfect #

# Till I open my big mouth #

# I want to be me #

# Is that not allowed? #

# And I'm too clever #

# And then I'm just too damn dumb #

# You hate it when I cry #

# Unless it's that time of the month #

# And I'm too perfect #

# Till I show you that I'm not #

# A thousand people I could be for you #

# Hate the whole damn lot #

# You hate the whole damn lot #

# You hate the whole damn lot #

# You hate the whole damn lot #

# You hate the whole damn lot #

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
