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 wanted skin-deep

And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakеs 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 wanted 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)
No more melon cake (ah, ah)
No more melon cake (ah, ah)
No more melon cake (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
