Melon Cake

There was a time I was livin' as a prisoner inside my own mind And there was a time Where the cat and mouse tried to make me Barbie-sized And I obliged Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred-degree heat People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat (It's a true story) I had too much of my fill and turns out, it wasn't cheap People always hung around who only want it skin-deep And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way La-la-la, la-la-la You could find mе starvin' for attention most days Amongst other things, God help me Finally get to do things my way La-la-la, la-la-la No more melon cake There was a time I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine But I wouldn't wish Those thoughts on my worst enemy They make you wish you don't exist Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred-degree heat People out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat I had too much of my fill and turns out, it wasn't cheap People always hung around who only want it skin-deep And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way La-la-la, la-la-la You could find me starvin' for attention most days Amongst other things, God help me Finally get to do things my way La-la-la, la-la-la No more melon cake, ah-ah (Ah-ah) No more melon cake, ah-ah (Ah-ah) No more melon cake, ah-ah (Ah-ah) No more melon cake, ah-ah (Ah-ah) Dear little me I'm sorry that it took so long But, baby, you're free And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays (Oh yeah) No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way (My way, oh) La-la-la, la-la-la You could find me starvin' for attention most days (On most days) Amongst other things, God help me (God help me) Finally get to do things my way (Things my way) La-la-la, la-la-la (Oh-oh) No more melon cake
