Lyrics
I don't make friends easily or naturally
I have difficulty forming friendships naturally.
You can blame chemicals or you can blame patriarchy
The challenge in making friends is attributed to either chemical factors or societal structures, particularly patriarchy.
It's nothing against you I'm sure you're sweet and pretty
It's not a personal issue; you're likely kind and attractive, but my emotional barriers are high.
But it's going to take a lot for me to want to leave my mental city
It will require significant effort for someone to break through the walls of my mental city and connect with me.
I built it all up around me
I have constructed a protective environment around myself.
Instigating, syncopating ask me why so aggravating
Engaging in activities that provoke or challenge, questioning why I am intentionally irritating.
Venture a guess you hinge your success on that which you might bleed from me
Speculating about your potential success by exploiting what you can gain from me.
I've heard it before, I can say for sure, yes
I've encountered similar situations in the past, and I can confidently say that...
I'm certain that you will agree
I am sure you will agree with my perspective.
No, not me
Contrary to the previous statement, it won't be me.
Keep your copper keep your pearls I'm the stubbornest girl in the world
Rejecting material offerings, asserting independence as the most stubborn girl.
You'll never drive a harder bargain than me
Challenging others to negotiate with someone more determined and resilient than me.
Yes, it's true, I want more
Acknowledging the desire for more in life.
I want more and more and more
Expressing an insatiable appetite for continuous growth and experiences.
Got more appetite than a bear or a forest full of mouths to feed
Having a voracious appetite, greater than that of a bear or a forest full of mouths to feed.
So save your paltry dowry
Dismissing small offerings, emphasizing the need for a substantial commitment.
I'm gonna buy you before you buy me
Asserting control by stating an intention to possess or control before being controlled.
Keep your copper keep your pearls I'm the stubbornest girl in the world
Reiteration of rejecting material offerings, emphasizing resilience and determination.
You'll never drive a harder bargain than me
Repeating the challenge for others to find a more tenacious negotiator.
No, not me
Reaffirming that it won't be me yielding or compromising.
No
Emphatic denial or refusal.
Not me
Final declaration of independence and determination not to yield.
