No Obligation

You'd like me better if they didn't stare

You'd like me better if I grew out my hair

You'd like me better if I wasn't a mess

You'd like me better if I'd put on a dress

I don't got no obligation

Just brush off all expectation

I ask you how you are and you'll never tell

They like you better when you keep to yourself

They like you better when you're shoved along

They try to tell you just where you belong

You don't owe no demonstration

Who cares 'bout their validation

I don't got no obligation

Just brush off all expectation

You'd like me better if I grew out my hair

Better if I wasn't always sweating and scared

They like you when you build up all the walls around your head

Better when you act like your emotions are dead, yeah

I don't owe you

You don't own me

You don't owe them

They don't own you

I don't owe you

You don't own me

You don't owe them

Don't let them own you
