Crocodile Tears

Yea I know I look pretty

With a smile on my face

But I'm too loud and too quiet

So I can't win the race

And when I feel like crying

It's like I'm in the wrong

These tears don't become me

But if I smile, I look strong

I tell myself it ain't real

I should man up to become the ideal

It's the paradox of how I should feel

I don't like that it implies

I should be more like the guys

Not so dramatic, you say

My feelings are just a disguise

And I'm so dramatic, you say

I've got crocodile tears in my eyes

I know that I can be flirty

But I can't be too much

They tell me can u be sexy for me

But don't let nobody touch

And I should be ambitious

But I can't act like the boss

So I be walking on eggshells

Cos there are lines I can't cross

I tell myself that I'm free

Wrap me up and put a label on me

It's the paradox of what I should be

And when I don't that like it implies

I should be less like the guys

Now I'm dramatic, you say

My feelings are just a disguise

And I'm so dramatic, you say

I've got crocodile tears in my eyes

You ain't got nothing on me

Telling me who I should be

You ain't got nothing on me

Imma just set myself free
