There was a time when I couldn'tStop loving you so muchHaven't seen that me in so longForgot I shouldn't care
I sang, "Dum, di-di," who I used to beIs not who I am, look at meThese dreams of mine do not need your advice or cheap blessingMy crown you couldn't lift
And you want me to act a certain wayI'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them to knowThey can't control me each dayEnjoy the pain
I don't need your expectationsMade the bricks to pave my wayFuck that Grammy nominationHappiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might meet up again"Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own"Lost in your expectationsI can't help you with that
I can't ever hate youBut had to let you goChanging myself for your egoAnd selfish, your pride stops there
I sang, "Karate," who I used to beIs not who I am, look at meThese dreams of mine do not need your advice or cheap blessingMy crown you couldn't lift
You want me to act a certain way (ah)I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them to knowThey can't control me each dayEnjoy the pain
I don't need your expectationsMade the bricks to pave my wayFuck that Grammy nominationHappiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might meet up again"Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own"Lost in your expectationsI can't help you with that
I can't lie, say it was easy, each day alone filled me with fearBut here I stand tall, my face to the crowd
I don't need your expectationsMade the bricks to pave my wayFuck that Grammy nominationHappiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might just meet up again"Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own"Lost in your expectationsI can't help you with that
