Please don't patronise me
Because I lay my heart upon my sleeve
Truth be told, I met a few types like these
Clear as day, you don't got your way
♪
Put in hours, hours gonna work on myself
So please approach with caution when your ego sways
Still on the man but not about to give in
Need to learn, learn my limits
♪
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel alive
At my expense you regrow
Bad feeling when you're close to me
Like you're bringing down my energy
Please let me go and be
Forgiving's what you want
But it don't come for free, no
Forgiveness comes with the space to let me be, yeah
And I don't think you ever met a type like me
Clear as day, you don't got your way
I'll never be a puppet on your strings
Won't fit in tomorrow's your real day
From a long, long line of strong women, so show respect
'Bout where I've been
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel alive
At my expense you regrow
Bad feeling when you're close to me
Like you're throwin' down my energy
You have to go and leave
Everytime I think you change you come and show
The notalgia's wearing thin and now I know
The rules have changed I'm taking some control
No more energy expelled, you got to go
You don't do me right
Stuck somewhere in your ego
Too far to feel alive
At my expense you regrow
Bad feeling when you're close to me
Like you're drawin' down my energy
You have to go and leave
