- ♪ Mummy they call me names ♪

They wouldn't let me play,

I'd run home sit and cry almost everyday

- Hey Jessica you looking like an alien

With green skin you don't fit in this playpen

- Oh they pulled my hair

They took away my chair.

I keep it in and pretend that I didn't care

- Hey Jessica you're so funny,

You've got teeth just like Bugs Bunny

- Oh so you think you know me now?

Have you forgotten how,

You would make me feel when you drag my spirit down?

But thank you for the pain

It made me raise my game

And I'm still rising, I'm still rising, yeah

So make your jokes, go for broke

Blow your smoke, you're not alone

But who's laughing now?

But who's laughing now?

So raise the bar, hit me hard,

Play your cards, be a star.

But who's laughing now?

But who's laughing now?

'Cause I'm in LA,

You think I've made my fame,

But FB makes us friends,

When you only really know my name

- Oh Jessie we knew you could make it

I've got a track, and I'd love you to take it

- So now because I'm signed,

You think my pockets lined.
