What About Me

(album: Bad Self Portraits - 2014)

You might think you understand
What turns a boy into a man
You gotta search alone and worthy
But that'll make a lonely girl
that has the top and that rules the world
A king who choose his crown over his queen

Before he gets the notion he doesn't need you
Before the motion grows your plan proceeds to

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me

You meet his friends you meet his folks
You love his songs you love his jokes
You show him all the moves he's never seen
Then you take his will away
You never go a single day without asking him
With whom or where he's been

You do it all to show him what he's worth
The last things it's about is helping her

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me

I have lived a privileged life
But I have seen my share of strife
And nothing beats the boy that's leaving me
I might have pushed a little hard
I might have took it way too far
But you've got respect consistency

That's why the next time I won't wait to fall
You know me, I won't hesitate to

Say what about me
Say what about me
Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street
Well my oh my, don't you realize
One thing should be on your mind
What about me
