[Verse 1]
Sometimes it feels like I'm swimming with sharks
Just reading books by myself in the park
And when I'm walking alone after dark
I don't want your yell, don't shout me out
[Verse 2]
Over my headphones
I hear you telling me to smile
And then you reach for me
Bit in the ocean bleeding
Where is your self control?
Now you've been talking for a while
You don't even let me speak
You think you know everything
[Chorus]
The days I've patiently waited
While things I know are clarified or debated
[Verse 3]
Your eyes close when you talk about champagne
My eyes roll back so far I see my brain
And there is so much you try to explain
That I don't wanna know, keep to yourself
[Verse 4]
I load into the show
You ask if I'm somebody's girlfriend
Not seen as capable
Just someone's property
[Chorus]
The days I've patiently waited
While you miscalculated
I don't owe you anything
[Verse 5]
You stand in front of me, blocking the view
But I'll climb ladders to see over you
And if there's something you think I can't do
Don't need your company, don't knock me down
[Bridge]
What do you deserve from me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G
Why do you always have to be so C-R-Y-P-T-I-C
Save the calls for my kitty, C-H-A-R-L-I-E
Wish you had earned that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T
How many girls in this city are getting T-I-R-E-D
Finding a sense of security through H-I-D-I-N-G
Wish I could swim but I'm in your teeth B-L-E-E-D-I-N-G
Wish you had earned that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T
[Refrain]
Don't owe you anything
[Outro]
Na na na na-na-na na
(What do you deserve from me? N-O-T-H-I-N-G)
Na na na na-na-na
(Why do you always have to be so C-R-Y-P-T-I-C?)
Na na na na-na-na
(Save the calls for my kitty, C-H-A-R-L-I-E)
Na na na na-na-na
(Wish you had earned that PhD in R-E-S-P-E-C-T)
[Refrain]
Don't owe you anything (Don't shout me out)
Sometimes it feels like I'm swimming with sharks

And when I'm walking alone after dark
I don't want your yell, don't shout me out
