That's Something I Do
Defying Norms: Embracing Individuality in Love
Lyrics
Your friends hate my guts
Your friends disapprove of me intensely.
They think that you're nuts
They believe you are irrational for associating with me.
For hanging out with me yeah
You face criticism for spending time with me.
'cause I don't have a pedigree
Because I lack a prestigious background or qualifications.
They think that I'm mean
They perceive me as unkind.
Just because I make a scene
This judgment is based on my occasional dramatic actions.
It's their society yeah
Blaming societal norms for my behavior that triggers frustration.
That makes me wanna scream
Their societal expectations make me feel the need to express my discontent.
You know, that's something I do once in a while
Occasionally, I act in a way that may surprise you.
You know, that's something I do to make you smile
I engage in such behavior to bring joy to your face.
Your friends think it's lame
Your friends view our activities as dull or uninteresting.
That you don't play the game
They criticize you for not conforming to societal expectations.
They're gonna look back one day
Someday, they will realize that you have surpassed them.
And see that you put them to shame
Your choices will eventually make them feel inadequate.
They think it's uncool
They consider our decisions to be socially unacceptable.
That we dropped out of school
We dropped out of school, which they find unimpressive.
We're gonna go back someday
We plan to return to school in the future, but for now, we prefer a carefree lifestyle.
For now we wanna play the fool
We choose to act foolishly for the time being.
They think they're better than that
They believe they are superior to such behavior.
They think they're better than that
This belief in superiority is reiterated.
They think they're better than that, girl
They continue to perceive themselves as better than us.
