Lyrics

    I don’t know what you want from me
    When I’m Sunburnt lips and summer feet
    Im tattered like these Levi jeans
    Punch-wasted on redundancy
    
    and now what the fuck does all this mean
    you know I’m still somebody’s daughter, see
    I spilled the milk you left for me
    My tears are falling flawlessly now
    
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    go on and be a big girl
    everybody’s gonna drown you out
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    You better show them why you talk so loud
    
    you wished upon a falling star
    And then left behind the avant garde
    For lemonade in crystal glasses
    Picket fences, file taxes
    Who the hell is in your bed
    You better kiss goodnight and give some head
    And then next then morning comes instead
    Well is this the life that lies ahead
    
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    go on and be a big girl
    everybody’s gonna drown you out
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    You better show them why you talk so loud
   
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    go on and be a big girl
    everybody’s gonna drown you out
    go on and be a big girl
    You asked for this now
    You better show them why you talk so loud
    
    I want my cake on a silver platter
    I want a fistful in my hands
    I want a beautiful boy’s despondent laughter
    I want to ruin all my plans
    I want a fist around my throat
    I want to cry so hard I choke
    I want everything I asked for
