girl i’ve always been

ready?

are you ready?

yeah

i'm gonna scare you again

don't scare me again

six, five, six, seven, eight

"baby doll, you have changed"

that's the thing you always say

cursin' me, trash my name

i rained all over your parade

now you're on my couch, you're fightin' tears

you say i'm cruel beyond my years

and as i'm walkin' out that door

say you don't know me anymore

well, i have captors i call friends

i got panic rooms inside my head

i get down with crooked men

but i am the girl i've always been

i got wrapped up in the game again

and you woke up in an empty bed

and i can't say i'm a perfect ten

but i am the girl i've always been

so don't say that i've been actin' different

i'm nothin' if i'm not consistent

you knew everything you'd be gettin'

i told you right from the beginnin'

now you're on my case, how could i go?

you never dreamed i'd be so cold

then with venom on your tongue

you ask me who i have become

well, i have captors i call friends

i got panic rooms inside my head

i get down with crooked men

but i am the girl i've always been

i got wrapped up in the game again

and you woke up in an empty bed

and i can't say i'm a perfect ten

but i am the girl i've always been

yeah, i'm a candle in the wind

i'll turn you out, i'll turn you in

but i am the girl i've always been
