lyrics

I could just lay down
I’ve always been the lay down girl
But when you turn your back I’m the girl on the tracks
Who’s been singing my song all along

I could just stay put
I’ve always been the stay put girl
But when you put everyone before you
You’re the only one without help

I’ve been a fool, a fool
Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I’m offering a free handout
I’m going back to school, to school
But this time my education’s gonna be ‘bout myself

Well, someones acting salty cause this isn’t what they wanted
Where’s the lay down girl
Not what you expected so you’re standing there corrected
Where’s the stay put girl

I could just act sweet
I’ve always been the act sweet girl
But now I’ve got this itch
Cause it’s the season of the bitch
And by god I’m on top of the world

I could let you go first
I’ve always been the let go girl
But now you’re anticipating
And I’m doing no more waiting
Gonna give this skirt a twirl

I’ve been a fool, a fool
Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I’m offering a free handout
I’m going back to school, to school
But this time my education’s gonna be ‘bout myself
I’ve been a fool, a fool

Ain't no-one gonna turn their back when I’m offering a free handout
I’m going back to school, to school
But this time my education’s gonna be ‘bout myself
